Al Ettifaq manager Steven Gerrard has offered his reaction to Jordan Henderson ’s short spell in the Saudi Pro League after leaving Liverpool .The 33-year-old had previously been a major advocate for the LGBTQ+ community so he was heavily criticised for making the move to the Middle East.
When asked when if he attempted to convince Henderson to stay in Saudi Arabia, Gerrard added: “I did but I didn’t overdo that because it had to be Jordan’s decision. Saudi Pro League chief Michael Emenalo meanwhile has argued that Henderson’s Saudi exit had “damaged” him and not the league. “If you ask him privately now, he will tell you that he had no issues. But sometimes there is a confluence of things happening that makes individuals make a decision that I think is best for them.”
