Jordan Henderson was one of the many prominent footballers moving to Saudi Arabia in the summer. But the England international doesn’t feel well.
According to a report, England international Jordan Henderson wants to move back to the Premier League as quickly as possible. According to a report in the Daily Mail, the 33-year-old feels uncomfortable in Saudi Arabia. Henderson has been under contract with first division club Al-Ettifaq, coached by Steven Gerrard, since July.
The midfielder was one of the most prominent footballers to move to Saudi Arabia in the summer. The former Liverpool FC captain signed for a weekly salary of more than 810,000 euros, which means around 42 million euros annually.
But Henderson is said to have problems with everyday life and the lifestyle in Saudi Arabia. The heat also bothers him. In addition, the joy of football itself is manageable. Al-Ettifaq has an average attendance of 7,800 fans. At times fewer than a thousand people came to the home games. This is also due to the sporting crisis of coach Steven Gerrard’s team.
Owners are putting pressure on Gerrard
Al-Ettifaq has not won a game since the end of October and has only picked up five points from the last eight games. Therefore, according to the Daily Mail, Gerrard is also under pressure and the owners should think about dismissing him. The ambitious club no longer has anything to do with the title race.
The team is in eighth place in the table, 28 points behind leaders Al-Hilal. The club coached by Jorge Jesus is still unbeaten and has even won 17 of the 19 games. Neymar, probably the team’s most important player, will be missing for the long term due to a torn cruciate ligament.
