Henderson was insistent in his belief he has made a good move by leaving Liverpool for Saudi Arabia
with Liverpool. He was club captain so it came as a surprise when he left for Al-Ettifaq this summer. In the interview, the 33-year-old midfielder reveals that he felt unwanted by the club after returning from his summer break and insists he would have stayed if those in charge had wanted him to.
The Saudi Pro League has been the dominant storyline of the summer transfer window, with several high-profile players taking up hugely lucrative offers to play there. Henderson is currently the only England international who has done so and he is managed by former Liverpool star Steven Gerrard. His move to Saudi Arabia, therefore, caught many by surprise and upset fans such as the Liverpool and England LGBTQ+ supporters groups, who pointed out the Gulf state’s terrible record on human rights and persecution of gay people.
