Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson believes that new goalkeeper Simon Mignolet will be "unbelievable" next season.

The 25-year-old, who played with Henderson during the 2010-11 campaign at Sunderland, moved to Merseyside this summer as competition for Liverpool's current number one Pepe Reina.

"If you've seen training, and the game the other day, you saw he's a very good goalkeeper," Henderson told LFCTV. "He's a very good shot stopper and, to be fair, he can do anything.

"He's very good with the ball at his feet, has got good kicking and distribution, and his shot-stopping is unbelievable. It'll definitely be interesting. Pepe is an amazing keeper, everyone knows that, so it'll be good competition for them both."

Meanwhile, reports have emerged claiming that former Reds boss Rafael Benitez wants to sign Reina at Napoli.
