Jordan Henderson hopes team-mate Raheem Sterling will settle his contract dispute with Liverpool, where he could "blossom as a player", reports BBC Sport.
The winger has rejected a new deal but Reds boss Brendan Rogers expects the 20-year-old to see out the remaining two years of his contract at Anfield.
"He is not who people think he is," said the 24-year-midfielder.
Henderson, speaking to Radio 5 live's John Murray, said: "He gets a bit of criticism because of how things have been dealt with, but I know him better as a person.
"I could not fault him as a person or a player. He is a great lad and gives everything for the team.
"For such a young lad he is so mature and does not let the outside world affect him.
"His work ethic is amazing. He is improving all the time. I hope we can keep him at Liverpool for many years, he can blossom here and become a top player."
