Chelsea among clubs considering Jordan Henderson move?
The 33-year-old controversially ended his glittering stint at Liverpool to join the Saudi Pro League revolution in the summer transfer window, signing a three-year deal with Steven Gerrard's side.
Given his previous support for the LGBTQ+ Community, Henderson's decision to move to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death led to enormous vilification, although he has denied that he left Liverpool for financial reasons.
Henderson has been an important cog in Gerrard's system this season, setting up five goals in 19 games for his new club, but his efforts have only been good enough to help Al Ettifaq to an eighth-placed standing in the Saudi Pro League table.
Gerrard's side — who have often played in front of four-figure crowds — are 28 points below leaders Al-Hilal and have failed to win any of their last eight top-flight matches, leading to speculation that the former Liverpool midfielder's job is under threat.
Since his condemned transfer to the Saudi Pro League, Henderson has also been targeted by boos from England fans during international matches, and according to the Daily Mail, he now wants out of Al-Ettifaq.
The midfielder has supposedly been heavily affected by the tirade of abuse he has received for moving to Saudi Arabia, and he has also struggled to acclimatise to the humid playing conditions.
The outlet adds that Henderson would be willing to accept a mammoth pay cut in order to return to the Premier League, and he has informed his teammates that he will be considering his options over the winter.
