Ajax midfielder, Jordan Henderson has come out to admit that his move from Liverpool to Saudi Pro League outfit, Al-Ettifaq was a mistake. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Henderson added that he definitely felt the decision was the right one at the time, but that was not the case.
His words, “I now realise that football runs through my blood. The Saudi league is developing but it doesn’t suit me, I made a mistake going there. I am happy here at the Ajax project.
Looking back at the time, it was a big decision and one I felt was right for me. Things change quickly in football and I’m happy to make this decision (to come to Ajax) and I felt this opportunity was too big to turn down for me. In life, if you want to call them regrets or mistakes you can, but they’re only mistakes if you don’t learn from them and I learnt a lot of things about Saudi. I haven’t got a bad word to say about anyone. I have friends over there I’ll speak to forever and there were still positives to come out of it. In the end it didn’t turn out way we both wanted to, but it ended on great terms.”
