Newly appointed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been voted by fans to appear on the cover of FIFA 16.
Henderson, the first Liverpool player to feature on the front cover, saw off competition from Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Thibaut Courtois as more than nine million fans around the world voted for their favourite player to be on the FIFA 16 cover.
He will appear on the cover of the game - which is due out in September - alongside Barcelona star Lionel Messi.
"Being part of the first FIFA cover vote was an incredible honour and it's an amazing feeling to know that the public voted for me to come out on top and to be on the cover of FIFA 16 alongside Messi," said Henderson.
"I'm extremely proud to become the first Liverpool player ever on the cover and the support I've had from fans around the world over the past few weeks, particularly Liverpool supporters, has been overwhelming. It's great to realise every young footballer’s dream and I'm grateful to everyone who voted."
