BREAKING: Jordan Henderson has accepted a proposal from Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq that's thought to be worth an eye-watering £700,000-a-week.
On being announced as Al-Ettifaq boss last week, Gerrard said: ‘I think there were a lot of reasons for me wanting to join the football club and I think the club has a lot of good people that represent the club from the board down.
‘When I went to Saudi I got a real family feeling. It made me actually feel welcomed. There are three things I always consider in order – it needs to be right for my family first and foremost. We have to be excited and motivated by the challenge.‘Secondly I think the football project needs to be ambitious, it needs to be for the right reasons in terms of the challenge and the remit and then of course you need to feel secure with the contract, but this comes at the very end.
‘So it was a combination of reasons. I am extremely excited, I am happy and I can’t wait to start. I can’t wait to meet all the supporters and all the players. But the people I have met so far who represent Ettifaq have been absolutely outstanding and I think we share a lot of things in common.’
