Declan Rice would make a perfect replacement for skipper Henderson.

The West Ham midfielder has witnessed a fantastic season with the club helping the Hammers reach the Europa League semi-final.

His performance for both club and country have seen him heavily linked with a host of Premier League clubs.

But David Moyes values him at £150million and would do anything to keep him at the club for one more season at the least.

Danny Murphy urges his former club to sanction a move for the 23-year-old midfielder.

Murphy said: “I think if you’re looking for a Jordan Henderson replacement, then you need somebody who could be there for the next ten years.

“Rice is a super athlete; he can get box-to-box like Henderson and he leads others around him.

“He doesn’t have to play the holding role, but he could if Fabinho got injured, and I think he could become a great number eight in a better side.

“He’ll be able to get forward more and score goals which he has shown at times.

“I know he’ll be really expensive, and Liverpool won’t pay that sort of money, but if you’re asking me from a fan’s mindset and a pundit mindset, then if Liverpool were to only sign Declan Rice it would be a phenomenal signing.

“But as I say I think it would be unlikely.”
