Jordan Henderson's move to Ajax was not enough for him to make the England squad, so what next for the midfielder in Amsterdam?
First it was disbelief, but that feeling gradually gave way to a genuine hope among Ajax fans when they heard their club were attempting to sign Jordan Henderson.But where the Cameroon striker signed for Everton, this time the rumours became reality when Ajax announced ex-Liverpool midfielder Henderson's arrival on a two-and-a-half-year contract in January.
A difficult start to the season remarkably saw Ajax bottom of the table for a short while. Perhaps even worse was their elimination from the Dutch Cup by amateur side Hercules. A week later, Henderson made his much-anticipated debut for the club in a 1-1 draw against league leaders - and eventual champions - PSV.'He came here to build Ajax'
"He communicates with the players on and off the field. He tries to help players recover better and also takes them into the gym."The level dropped with those injury problems for Bergwijn and also Steven Berghuis.The low point was a 4-0 defeat at Aston Villa in the Europa Conference League, in which the midfielder could not raise the level of a team low on confidence.
"I'm pretty disappointed with what Henderson has brought so far," said Ajax supporter Jan Ruijtenberg, who has been following the club for almost 30 years. "What we hoped was that Henderson would solve the inconsistency, that he would stabilise the team, but that’s not the case."
