Jordan Henderson joined Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in the summer

There is no doubt that this summer has been marked by the Saudi Pro League's strong and marked irruption in the European transfer market, as the economically powerful Saudi Arabian league has taken great players from various clubs in Europe, convincing them with stratospheric salaries to leave the football elite to go to the exotic league.

 

Our Liverpool already knows what it is like to deal with the interest of Arab clubs in our players, as this summer we lost two players who were very important pillars for Jürgen Klopp's team, on the one hand Fabinho, who left for Al-Ittihad, was the starting defensive midfielder of our club, while Jordan Henderson, who joined Al-Ettifaq, was nothing more and nothing less than our captain.

Speaking of Jordan Henderson's signing, the 33-year-old midfielder decided to accept the Saudi club's offer, which would make him one of the highest paid players in the world. Moreover, one of the factors that influenced his decision was that he would be reunited with living legend Steven Gerrard, who is currently the coach of Al-Ettifaq.

Well now, it seems that Jordan Henderson will experience another reunion at Al-Ettifaq, as the signing of a former Liverpool star, who won absolutely everything with the Reds during the club's last golden era, has been confirmed.

 

Who will be Jordan Henderson's new teammate?

We are talking about Georginio Wujnaldum, the Dutch midfielder who became a very important figure in Jürgen Klopp's scheme during the successes that led us to conquer the Champions League and the Premier League. Through his social networks, Wijnaldum has confirmed that he will be joining Al-Ettifaq after being sidelined from the PSG project. "Very excited to start playing with my dear friend Jordan Henderson again and to work with coach Steven Gerrard" he wrote.
