Jordan Henderson wants to return to the Premier League this month but his Saudi club Al-Ettifaq will not allow the England midfielder to leave cheaply.

Henderson made a high-profile move to Saudi Arabia in July to link up with former Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard, who had taken over as manager of Al-Ettifaq a few weeks prior.

The 33-year-old cost Al-Ettifaq in the region of £13m and they are reported to be paying him a weekly wage of around £350,000.

Results on the pitch have been indifferent, with Al-Ettifaq winless in the Saudi Pro League since late October and languishing in eighth place, some 28 points behind leaders Al-Hilal.

Ajax have confirmed Henderson has joined after terminating his contract with Al-Ettifaq
