Jordan Henderson is set to make a shock return to the Premier League after leaving Ajax early, according to reports.
Henderson's contract with the Dutch giants was terminated a year early after bringing an end to his stint in Saudi Arabia, after 57 appearances and being named as captain in Amsterdam.
In a statement, Ajax said: 'Jordan Henderson is leaving Ajax. The club has cooperated with the player's request to terminate the current employment contract.
'The Englishman's contract with Ajax ran until June 30, 2026, but now ends immediately.'
Now, The Athletic's David Ornstein has revealed that the former Liverpool player is set to join a surprise Premier League outfit and return to his home country ahead of next summer's World Cup.
