Henderson: It’s been a difficult year for me and new club Ajax

The Hindu  

England midfielder Jordan Henderson admitted on Friday that it had been a tough period both for him following his controversial move to Saudi Arabia and for new club Ajax, who are enduring a torrid season. “So hopefully we can help each other come together and help each other go forward and try to be as successful as possible in the near future.” Henderson’s move to Saudi Arabia -- with reported wages of up to £700,000 per week -- followed high-profile signings of the likes of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and France’s 2022 Ballon D’Or winner Karim Benzema. The world’s biggest oil exporter has thrown hundreds of millions at sports deals including Formula One in Jeddah and the lucrative LIV Golf tour, drawing frequent claims it is “sportswashing” its human rights record. Saad Allazeez, Vice Chairman and interim CEO of the Saudi league, said some people “don’t always adjust or settle.” “Everyone tried and no one is to blame,” he added. The supporters’ association said Henderson was a “major player” but “we shouldn’t immediately expect miracles.” “It is naive to think that the road to the top is now wide open.
