JAKARTA - Midfielder Al-Ettifaq Jordan Henderon wants to return to England. The club duo London, Chelsea and Totenham Hotspur are ready to accommodate it. But his former club, Liverpool, is also open to accepting Henderson back.

There was a feeling of regret from Henderson. In fact, he got a big contract when he left Liverpool to join Al-Ettifaq.

The elite Saudi Arabian club itself is handled by Liverpool legend who is also Henderson's senior, Steven Gerrard.

Hanya, pemain tengah berusia 33 ini, mengaku sebagai sebuah kesalahan saat dirinya menerima tawaran bermain di Arab Saudi.

Even though it was predicted, Henderson's statement acknowledging it was a surprise. Moreover, he received a high salary in Saudi Arabia.

Henderson pocketed a salary of no less than 700 thousand pounds or approximately 13 billion rupiahs each week. He also got a two-year contract.

But not yet a year into a contract, Henderson already wants to return to England. Henderson told a colleague that he had made a mistake for joining Al-Ettifaq.

Moreover, Henderson failed to show his maximum performance in the Arab Professional League. The England international has also not scored a goal.

Henderson is worried that if he doesn't return to England, he will be dropped from the Three Lions squad competing at Euro 2024. Because Gareth Southgate's manager only monitors players in the domestic and European leagues. If you stay in Saudi Arabia, the chances of getting a call from the national team will run low

Henderson hopes to join one of the English Premier League clubs or from another league in Europe this January or during the player transfer market.

The player's desire to inherit the captain's armband from Gerrard has received a response from a number of Premier League clubs.

Chelsea are interested in bringing Henderson who is expected to strengthen the middle sector. It's just that in that sector there is also veteran midfielder Thiago Silva.

If Silva is still maintained, then Mauricio Pochettino's manager will rely on veteran duo at the midfielder holding position. Pochettino himself still declined to respond to rumors of Henderson's move to West London.

Chelsea will compete with another London club, Tottenham who also wants to sign Henderson. Tottenham can meet Henderson's expectations of being ready to sign him on the cast exchange in January.

Interestingly, it is possible that Henderson's return will lead to the transfer of other players. In order to get Henderson, Chelsea will release midfielder Conor Gallagher to Tottenham.

Tottenham are also ready to accommodate the 23-year-old England international if they don't get Henderson.

Not only Chelsea and Tottenham are hunting for Henderson. His former club, Liverpool are still considering bringing him back.

Jurgen Klopp's manager still hopes Henderson returns to Anfied. However, Klopp could not guarantee Henderson would often be played.

"The problem is that he is no longer a regular player. That's what I once told him. It's not that I don't want him anymore. But the situation is like that," said Klopp.

Other clubs include Newcastle United and Celtic. Meanwhile, from outside England, there is a German Bundesliga club that is interested in recruiting Henderson. Although not mentioned, Bayer Leverkusen wants to take Henderson to Germany.

Leverkusen is handled by Xabi Alonso, who was once a Liverpool pillar, only Xabi has never played with Henderson at Anfield.

Xabi left Liverpool in 2009. Only two years later, Henderson arrived at Anfield.
