“No chance” – Jordan Henderson never considered Fulham move

A swap deal with Clint Dempsey was reported deal with Fulham back in 2012, but it never truly got off the ground as Henderson only had eyes of succeeding at Anfield.

Then 22, it could have gone any number of ways for the No. 14 but he credits the assistance of Brendan Rodgers for changing his trajectory at Liverpool after showing the desire to have a lasting impact.

“No chance. I didn’t really consider it,” Henderson told GQ Magazine. “I’d been at Liverpool just over a year, I still had a long time left on my contract and it wasn’t something that I was willing to entertain.

“To be honest, Brendan was good in that situation. He said he would help me develop and improve as a player, which he certainly did, so I’ve got a lot to thank him for.
