Jordan Henderson, the former Liverpool FC captain who made a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia Professional Football last summer, is now on the radar of Dutch giants Ajax. The midfielder, who joined Al Ettifaq along with other football superstars like Neymar who signed mammoth deal with Al Hilal FC, orchestrated his move after Cristiano Ronaldo's headline-grabbing switch to Al Nalsar FC.
Recent reports indicate that Ajax is actively engaged in talks to secure the services of Jordan Henderson. The deal, initially unveiled exclusively last week, is still in the negotiation phase, with both parties expressing optimism as discussions continue to progress positively.

Al Ettifaq are yet to give a clear indication as to how much it will cost to do that - but Ajax are hopeful they can strike a deal.
