Transfer: Jordan Henderson accepts Al Ettifaq's huge offer to join Gerrard

Liverpool midfielder, Jordan Henderson, has accepted a proposal from Saudi Arabian club Al Ettifaq, Metro UK reports.

Henderson reportedly spoke with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp about the Al Ettifaq offer on Thursday, and the Reds boss gave him his blessing to leave Anfield.

Liverpool are now discussing a transfer fee with Al Ettifaq over Henderson's signature.

Al Ettifaq is currently managed by former Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard.

It is understood that Al Ettifaq is offering Henderson a deal thought to be worth an eye-watering £700,000-a-week.

The offer will see the England international roughly quadruple his Liverpool salary, which sees him earn just under £200,000-a-week.

Henderson has two years left to run on his contract with Liverpool and Klopp's side will expect a fee for their captain, thought to be in the region of £10million.
