AS Monaco Targets Former Liverpool Captain Jordan Henderson for Midfield Reinforcement

AS Monaco is rapidly advancing efforts to strengthen its midfield by targeting Jordan Henderson, the former Liverpool captain who currently plays for Ajax Amsterdam. The club intends to expedite the acquisition following the unsuccessful transfer of Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe from Eintracht Frankfurt, according to RMC Sport. Monaco's recent form has been underwhelming, with only two victories in their last seven matches, increasing the urgency to reinforce the squad ahead of a vital Champions League play-off.

Henderson, experienced with 31 appearances for Ajax this season after his brief period in Saudi Arabia, is reportedly receptive to joining the Ligue 1 outfit. This potential transfer comes at a crucial time as Monaco prepares for a significant match against either Paris Saint-Germain or Benfica Lisbon, aiming to improve their midfield options substantially.

While Henderson is expected to miss Monaco’s next game against Auxerre, he could potentially debut in a crucial encounter with PSG at Parc des Princes on February 7. His experience and leadership could provide a substantial boost to Monaco as they contend for honors in both domestic and European arenas, aiming to enhance their performance through strategic signings.
