Jordan Henderson, the recent recruit for Ajax following a brief stint in Saudi Arabia, openly addressed the backlash surrounding his move and restated his unwavering personal beliefs. Henderson took a moment to express regret and extend an apology to the LGBT+ community, emphasizing that his decision to move was grounded in football considerations. Despite the criticisms linked to his tenure in Saudi Arabia, he refrained from making negative remarks about the Saudi league and dismissed rumors of turning down a Premier League return due to tax concerns.
Having left Al-Ettifaq after just 17 appearances due to uncertainties in life and football, Henderson is enthusiastic about making his debut for Ajax and eagerly awaits his work permit. Throughout this period, he has remained in regular contact with England’s manager, Gareth Southgate, with an eye on participating in the upcoming European Championship.
Affirming his dedication to Ajax, Henderson aspires to contribute to the team’s success and expressed hope for a call-up to the England national squad. His commitment remains resolute, with a focus on representing his country with pride and contributing to both club and international achievements.
