Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is among a clutch of players being targeted by Saudi sides with Reds icon Steven Gerrard spearheading a push for the midfielder’s signature
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is set to mull over a move to the Saudi Pro League as Steven Gerrard chases his signature.
The long-serving midfielder is reportedly at the heart of interest from the ex-Reds’ captain’s new team Al-Ettifaq. Gerrard is thought to be spearheading a push for Henderson’s services as he aims to kick off what is anticipated to be a lucrative recruitment drive.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are undergoing an overhaul of their midfield. James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all left Anfield, whilst Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai have been signed for a combined fee of just over £90m.
That could potentially see Henderson fall down the pecking order on Merseyside, and he is set to give real thought to the prospect of moving to Saudi Arabia. According to The Telegraph, the former Sunderland man is currently âwrestling’ with the dilemma of whether to leave Liverpool.
