Jordan Henderson brutally told he brings "zero quality" to Ajax by former Premier League star
Former Tottenham star, Rafael van der Vaart, has criticised Jordan Henderson's performance at Ajax, suggesting that his boyhood club has brought in players with "zero quality".
Ex-Liverpool captain Henderson, who lifted both the Premier League and Champions League trophies under Jurgen Klopp, recently moved to Amsterdam from Saudi Arabia but has not been able to help Ajax win any of his first four games for the club.
Van der Vaart started his career with Ajax before going on to play in Germany, Spain and England. He also made over 100 appearances for the Netherlands. The 41-year-old told Dutch television: "Ajax have brought in players with zero quality. The club will now have to see out the rest of the season. They have brought in Jordan Henderson. All he does is to play a little pass out wide, or a little pass back. But nobody will be happy with that.

Afterwards it's best for them to get knocked out, and to make a fresh start next season. As an Ajax man my heart bleeds. I don't know what I can say about them any more."
Ajax are normally a powerhouse in Dutch football, but have been struggling this season. They are currently fifth in the league, a whopping 26 points behind leaders PSV Eindhoven. In their last Europa Conference League match, Henderson's team narrowly avoided a 2-0 loss to Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, thanks to two late goals in stoppage time.
