Ajax is poised to offer Jordan Henderson an 18-month contract, with the option to extend for an additional year. The Dutch giants are eager to secure the midfielder’s services and are willing to negotiate a longer deal if necessary.
Following a successful meeting, Ajax plans to expedite the transfer process by organizing a medical examination and completing the necessary paperwork to register Henderson in time for their upcoming Eredivisie match against RKC Waalwijk on Sunday.
The Amsterdam-based club believes Henderson’s expertise and leadership will remarkably enhance their chances of securing European qualification for the remainder of the season. Currently, Ajax trails league leaders PSV by 23 points.
Henderson’s potential arrival follows the termination of his contract with Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, as reported by Sky Sports News. The midfielder previously played under Steven Gerrard, his former Liverpool teammate, at Al Ettifaq, making 19 appearances for the club.
Henderson’s illustrious career at Liverpool includes leading the team to numerous titles, including the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, and Community Shield during his tenure as captain. Ajax is eager to leverage Henderson’s experience and skill to bolster their squad and push for European qualification.
