New boy Jordan to quadruple his pay

Posted Thursday, June 09, 2011 by The Sun

JORDAN HENDERSON will quadruple his wages with a £20million Liverpool move.

The Sunderland midfielder will now be on £60,000 a week as part of a four-year contract.

Henderson, 20, spent yesterday having a medical in a private hospital on Merseyside.

Kop striker David Ngog will become David Ngone, moving the opposite way as part of the deal.

Henderson can now focus on England's European Under-21 Championship bid after linking up with Stuart Pearce's squad 24 hours late in Denmark.

The signing softens the blow for Kop boss Kenny Dalglish after he missed out on Blackburn's Phil Jones.

Dalglish now has Birmingham's £10m-rated Scott Dann as his major defensive target, with Paris St Germain stopper Mamadou Sakho as the alternative.

Dann, 24, was a crucial loss in the season's run-in for Birmingham and his absence was a key factor in their relegation.

The centre-back was in excellent form until a hamstring injury kept him out for the last four months.

Villa winger Stewart Downing, Blackpool skipper Charlie Adam and Ipswich rookie Connor Wickham are others on Dalglish's hit-list.

French international Sylvain Marveaux is also set to arrive on a free from Rennes next month, with Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique another likely new face.

Barcelona rookie Jeffren Suarez is also available for a token fee after being told by the Champions League winners that he is surplus to requirements.
