Lovren reveals heartful gift from Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson on Instagram.
Henderson sent Lovren a replica Premier League trophy and a touching message.
Croatia centre-back Dejan Lovren has revealed the deeply felt letter and the gift he received from England midfielder Jordan Henderson after ending his time with Premier League champions Liverpool.
Lovren, who left Anfield this summer to join Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg, was “without words” after he received the package from Reds captain Henderson.
“Dej, It’s impossible to think of Liverpool without you being with us and to be honest it hasn’t really sunk in yet you won’t be coming back,” Henderson wrote.
“You have been such a massive figure in our team and one of the biggest influences in helping drive us to the point where we are at now; winners and champions.
“Even in times when it was tough for you, you were still there for everyone else. I will never forget the support you gave me and difference you made to me in helping to lead this team. You were always a ‘captain’ yourself, without ever needing an armband. We all look up to you.
“I miss you already, even though I keep expecting you to bowl back into Melwood and be in the middle of banter and discussions.
“I hope you realise how much we all appreciate what you gave for this club and us as a team. I can’t thank you enough and I am always available if you or your amazing family need anything.
“Good luck for the future, but know you still have your brothers in Liverpool if you ever need us. YNWA, Hendo.”
