Jordan Henderson Showed His Leadership Qualities By Getting Takumi Minamino Involved In Celebrations

Jordan Henderson demonstrated his leadership qualities in brilliant fashion by involving Takumi Minamino in the Premier League title celebrations.

The Japanese international, a January signing from Red Bull Salzburg, looked a little shy and sheepish at Anfield despite receiving his winners medal.

He was just lurking in the background when Reds' skipper Henderson stepped in, put an arm on his shoulder and got him involved in proceedings.

Henderson moved Minamino in with a group of players and led him much closer to the trophy - which he would eventually get a picture with.

Plenty of Liverpool fans picked up on Henderson's fantastic gesture and showered him with praise.

Henderson has developed into a brilliant captain and this latest act just sums up his abilities. Having experienced his fair share of doubt and criticism when he joined Liverpool, he's now lifted the Champions League and Premier League in the last two seasons.
