Steven Gerrard faces disappointment in his bid to sign former Liverpool teammate Jordan Henderson for Al-Ettifaq.
Mail Sport revealed that Henderson and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are two of Gerrard’s top targets after he was appointed as manager of the Saudi Arabian club last week, while the Liverpool legend has also spoken to free agent Wilfried Zaha.
Despite exploratory talks between intermediaries acting on behalf of Al-Ettifaq and Henderson, it’s understood that the 33-year-old England midfielder would be reluctant to join the Saudi Pro League at this stage of his career.
