Jordan Henderson 'set to be named new captain of Ajax' after just ONE game with head coach 'keen to make the appointment permanent due to the positive effect he has had on the dressing room'

Jordan Henderson is reportedly set to be made the new captain of Ajax after impressing his manager and team-mates with his leadership skills.

The former Liverpool skipper has only made one appearance since returning to Europe from Al-Ettifaq but could already be named as captain of the club.

As reported by The Mirror, Henderson will wear the armband when they travel to Heerenveen on Sunday.

This is due to former Spurs winger Steven Bergwijn, the current captain, being sidelined by injury.

The report continues to state that Henderson donning the armband may not be a one-off as it is understood Ajax coach John van't Schip could look to make him the permanent captain.
