Jordan Henderson is still yet to be paid any of his £350,000-a-week contract at Al-Ettifaq, according to reports.

The English midfielder has terminated his deal at Steven Gerrard’s Saudi Pro League side, and is set to return to Europe after agreeing a free transfer to join struggling Eredivisie giants Ajax.

The former Liverpool captain spent just six months in Saudi Arabia, with reports suggesting his family were unable to settle, believed to be part of the reason for his return to Europe. 

It is however not so simple as agreeing a deal at a new club in Europe, and now Henderson is facing a tax bill worth millions as a result of the sensational U-turn after just six months.

Now, the Telegraph is reporting that the player has not even received a penny of his mouth-watering £350,000-a-week wages, having deferred payments in the last six months.

Worse still, the report suggests that according to certain sources close to the player, there is a belief that Henderson will never be paid what he is owed.

It is thought that the reason for deferring his wages was done for tax reasons, reportedly having done so in part to return to the UK and represent England.
