Jordan Henderson left Liverpool in a surprise move to Saudi Arabia two years ago, but he could now be set to return to England— via Ajax — with another transfer option having opened up.

Ajax collapsed in remarkable fashion at the end of the Eredivisie season, with manager Francesco Farioli having since parted ways with the club.

The North East side, of course, has returned to the Premier League after beating Sheffield United in the play-off final last weekend.

Henderson grew up as a Sunderland fan and moved to Liverpool in 2011.

The former Liverpool captain still has another year left to run on his Ajax contract.

Henderson, now 34, won the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool.

Under Thomas Tuchel, he has now regained his place in the England squad and might even have a chance of making next summer's World Cup.

Ajax, meanwhile, has made Liverpool coach John Heitinga its number one target— alongside Marcel Keizer in a proposed joint manager arrangement — to replace Farioli.

The Dutch outlet De Telegraaf reports that Heitinga, the 41-year-old assistant to Arne Slot at Anfield, is open to making the move.

In truth, though, he should never have left Liverpool, at least not for Saudi Arabia.

Had he stayed a bit longer and accepted a bit-part role, or even moved to Ajax or another major European club straight away, his reputation would have been very different
