    Reports indicate Indicate England Midfielder Jordan Henderson is Poised to Depart Al-Ettifaq for Ajax

    Former Liverpool captain Henderson, 33, signed for Al-Ettifaq in a lucrative but controversial move last summer.

    Henderson was a high-profile supporter of LGBTQ+ rights during his time at Anfield.

    After he was booed off the pitch at Wembley during a friendly against Australia in October, Henderson subsequently apologised for any hurt he caused by moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal.

    Dutch media report Henderson is set to head to Amsterdam to finalise a move to Ajax, having reached an agreement with Al-Ettifaq to terminate his contract.

    Henderson is expected to sign an 18-month deal with the Dutch giants.

    Ajax are fifth in the Eredivisie table, having recovered from a poor start to the new domestic campaign which saw head coach Maurice Steijn depart after just 11 games in charge.
