Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has bid farewell to the club as he closes in on a move to Al-Ettifaq.
The 33-year-old will bring to an end a 12-year spell at Anfield, in which he won every single major club honour, when his impending move to the Saudi Pro League side is confirmed.
"It's hard to put these last 12 years into words and it's even harder to say goodbye. I will always be a Red. Until the day I die," he posted on Instagram.
"Thank you for everything. You'll never walk alone."
He added in a video accompanying his post: "I'm in the (Liverpool) dressing room for the last time so, as you can imagine, it is very emotional.
"I need to somehow explain what these last 12 years have meant for me and my family.
"Being made the captain of Liverpool Football Club was one the greatest honours of my life.
"From the day the armband was passed to me I did everything I could to behave like a Liverpool captain should.
"Thank you for allowing me to be part of your club, thank you for your support in good times and bad."
