Ajax boss makes definitive statement on Jordan Henderson after club block transfer for former Liverpool captain
Share:
Ajax head coach Francesco Farioli has made it very clear that Jordan Henderson will not be leaving the club during the current transfer window. The former Liverpool captain has only been at the Amsterdam club since January last year when he ended his underwhelming six-month spell at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. Henderson had been keen to move on again this month after Monaco made an offer for the 34-year-old. That offer was rejected before Henderson reportedly tried to force a move by threatening to refuse to play for Ajax again.

Despite this alleged ultimatum, Henderson played 77 minutes for Ajax on Thursday in a 2-1 win over Galatasaray in the Europa League. He did not captain the team against Galatasaray but he was wearing the armband again on Sunday when Ajax took on Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. Speaking to reporters ahead of kick-off on Sunday, Ajax boss Farioli said: 'Jordan Henderson is definitely staying, he is our captain. The story is closed, 100 per cent.'.

Former Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson captained Ajax against Feyenoord on Sunday. Henderson was recently the subject of a transfer offer from French Ligue 1 club AS Monaco. But the bid was rejected and Ajax boss Francesco Farioli said on Sunday: 'The story is closed'. On the eve of Sunday's game, a group of Ajax fans showed their support towards Henderson at an open training session. Henderson had come under heavy fire from critics in the Dutch media and also from many fans.
