During his 12-year tenure at Liverpool, Jordan Henderson played a crucial role in helping the team secure both the Premier League and the Champions League titles. As a highly respected member of the squad, it was widely expected that he would remain at Anfield for the remainder of his career. However, to the surprise of many, Henderson decided to leave Liverpool and join Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq last summer. Unfortunately, his time in the Middle East was short-lived, lasting less than six months, indicating that he did not enjoy his experience there despite the lucrative salary. The Daily Mail reports that Liverpool officials privately believe Henderson would have continued to play a significant role had he stayed at the club. While it may seem like a mistake to have left Liverpool, Henderson’s move to Ajax presents an exciting challenge for the former captain. The Dutch team has struggled this season and could benefit from Henderson’s experience and leadership to help them return to their former glory. It remains to be seen how Henderson will perform in Amsterdam in the coming months.
