Not really, hes probably a similar standard.
Henderson plays the ball forward more and had 3x the amount of assists of Kovacic.
Scored 1 goal more last year and had more shots on target.
Henderson contributes much more defensively too.
Then again Kovacic is much better running with the ball.
All in a 'stronger league'.
I know stats don't really say everything but I think it shows Kovacic isn't really any better at least.
Would be a good buy for liverpool but I wouldn't spend a huge amount on him
(Milner also racks up similar stats to these two aswell)
Kovacic is a quality player, he was finding his feet with Mazzarri but he was sacked and Mancini misused him big time. Not to forget Inter players are more static than any other players and their don't have a proper game plan.
For example:

Also Henderson Vs Kovacic.

Kovacic wins in all dept except assists. I have watched plenty of Inter games and it's so easy to see why Kovacic is so highly rated.
