Ajax are interested in signing Jordan Henderson from Al Ettifaq, sources have told ESPN, but face competition from the Premier League and the Bundesliga for the England midfielder’s signature.
Former Liverpool captain Henderson, who left Anfield last summer, is reportedly keen to return to the Premier League only months after moving to Saudi Arabia as part of an exodus of high-profile names to the developing league.

Henderson’s salary represents an issue for Ajax, a source told ESPN, but they view the 33-year-old’s experience and position in midfield as areas they need to strengthen. Ajax are fifth in the Eredivisie after recovering from a bad start to the season.
Two unnamed Premier League clubs and a team in the Bundesliga are also interested in signing Henderson, sources said.
