In a riveting development, Dave Davis from EPL Index sheds light on Jordan Henderson’s potential move. According to Dominick King of the Mail, Al-Ettifaq has firmly decided that Henderson is not for sale this transfer window. This revelation comes amidst swirling rumors of Ajax and Juventus vying for the former Liverpool captain. Davis quotes King’s exclusive, emphasizing the finality of Al-Ettifaq’s stance:
“Jordan Henderson…has been told by Al-Ettifaq you are going nowhere.”
The transfer market buzz doesn’t stop with Henderson. Davis highlights the interest in Frankfurt striker Sasa Kalajdzic. With a release clause of approximately 17.5 million Euros, Kalajdzic becomes an attractive prospect for many clubs. However, Davis points out the complications due to AFCON and Kalajdzic’s injury concerns, stating, “It’s almost a now or never…we’ll probably find out in the next few days realistically.”
Another name making waves is Lenny Yoro, a young center-half making a name for himself. Davis notes the attention Yoro is garnering from top clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Liverpool. He references various European papers, including TFI and NES, underscoring the widespread interest in Yoro’s burgeoning talent.
Davis doesn’t shy away from the broader implications of the transfer market, particularly the Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. He discusses the potential breaches by Everton and Nottingham Forest, as reported by The Telegraph and Paul Joyce. Davis insightfully adds, “The Premier League…will look to make these punishments swift…that is the Premier League’s aim.”
As the transfer window progresses, the fate of players like Henderson and Kalajdzic remains in the balance. Davis’s analysis paints a picture of a dynamic market, where clubs and players navigate the complex interplay of regulations, interests, and opportunities. The coming days will undoubtedly bring more clarity, but for now, the speculation continues to fuel the excitement of the football world.
