The legendary Liverpool player Gerrard has assumed leadership of Al-Ettifaq after agreeing to a two-year contract. His hiring comes despite early apprehensions as he turned down the club’s invitation following his trip to the Middle East.
With rumored sights on his former teammate Jordan Henderson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a former Arsenal striker now playing for Chelsea, Gerrard, 43, appears to be treading an unusual course. However, Gerrard’s desire is not limited to that.
GERRARD HAS HENDERSON ON HIS RADAR FOR AN AL-ETTIFAQ STINT
According to Chris Wheeler’s allegations in the Daily Mail, Liverpool’s valiant captain, Jordan Henderson, may be the target of Al-Ettifaq, a bold move spearheaded by the team’s recently appointed manager, Steven Gerrard. Gerrard’s daring stint in the Saudi Pro League has already sparked a flurry of rumors.
Will Jordan Henderson succumb to temptation?
He has spent the last 12 years of his career at Anfield, and he has two more years left on his current contract, which is set to expire in 2025. At this point in his career, the Liverpool captain’s probable move to the Saudi Pro League adds an intriguing dimension to Gerrard’s intentions for Al-Ettifaq.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is 34 and one year older than Henderson, may be looking for a new beginning following a disappointing season at Chelsea. The ex-Arsenal striker might get the boost he needs with a lucrative transfer to the developing Saudi league. Aubameyang might join other Chelsea players like N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Edouard Mendy by transferring to Al-Ettifaq.
