English midfielder Jordan Henderson, who was expected to continue playing at Anfield this season, decided to join Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ettifaq after being persuaded by manager Steven Gerrard and lavish treatment.
However, he is feeling the limitations of living in the Middle East for about six months and wants to return to Europe.
While the player is said to be selling to various clubs, Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist, said that Ajax of the Netherlands is keen on him, and several other clubs have expressed interest.
“Ajax are showing concrete interest in signing Jordan Henderson in case he’ll get green light to leave Al Ettifaq in January transfer window.”
“There are several clubs keen, waiting for Saudi club decision — but Henderson is looking for options and Ajax are there.”
