I didn’t go to Saudi Arabia for money — Jordan Henderson
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has insisted that he did not leave Liverpool to join Saudi side Al Ettifaq for financial reasons.
Before England defeated Italy 3-1, the midfielder spoke to Channel 4 as reported by the Sun, “I did an interview a couple of months ago and maybe some of the stuff that came out didn’t come out in the way that I thought I said it.
“An example of that would be when I said I didn’t go out there solely for the money. I think that’s a big difference – it’s not a sole reason going out there for the money.”
Meanwhile, After joining the Saudi Pro League during the summer, Henderson, a strong supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, claims he has not felt any pressure to alter his opinions.
Henderson continued, “I think having someone like myself, with the values that I have, in Saudi Arabia is only a good thing.
"Before I went to Saudi, people knew the groups I supported and helped in the past. My values haven’t changed as a person just because I’m going to a different country to play football.
"Not once since I've been there have they said I can't do this or I can't say that."
Henderson has "no regrets" over his July transfer, which saw him earn more than the captain of the Three Lions Harry Kane.
