Welcome to The Athletic FC, where quality football journalism meets bitesize video.
Jordan Henderson’s move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, has not gone to plan.
He wants to come back to the Premier League – but could this law prevent that from happening?
Let’s find out 🤝

Let's be honest, with a good accountant, "only" 6 months or so of wages then expenses for living over there, put some into investments, I'm sure that will be down to less than £1m for earning about £16m
I'll take that deal 😂
Why is he taxed on the money he'd earned elsewhere?
18 more months on astronomical money for easy by his standard football. My heart is bleeding for him.
The presenter looks like the hot version of Rory Jennings
Keep him there, deserves to finish the "Project " 😅
Given that he only cares about money he will stay or go to Europe
Wow, Hendo beat homophobia pretty quickly if he’s already planning to return to Europe
What a positive move, stick there
If he just acknowledged moving to the Saudi League was for the bag, nobody would fault him. But using a marginalized group as an excuse to do so was shameful and gross, and seeing him beg and plead his way back into the Prem is even more infuriating.
It won't be long now until other players that left for the Saudi League start getting the hell outta dodge themselves too. This sportswashing project was never sustainable.
Where does our UK tax money go exactly
Where's jj bull
He could join the newly formed antarctic league
Let’s just ignore the MLS and it’s history of picking up older euro stars. “He’s gonna play in Europe”
Taxation really is theft
The brave hero returns 😂
He should tell his family to suck it up instead of paying £17M tax to the HMRC fucks
Tis tax shit needs to stop. He didn't make the money in Europe yet the uk has their greedy little hands out. Ducking disgrace.b
He’s going to Ajax
He was a wonderful captain but he the way he left without even saying goodbye or anything kinda left a sour taste tbh. This guy was there when we were nothing and captained us to everything you would think he would have got a parade when he left instead it was just an offseason social media post and gone
Hes pretty much banned from the prem lol
“Adjusted”😂
So he's going to Holland to save tax…😊
Then there’s the problem that nobody wants him 😂 wouldn’t get anywhere near the Forest midfield and we’ll probably be in the bottom 3 in a couple weeks
He clearly wants to leave Saudi Arabia because he's living in Saudi Arabia…also after all his nonsense he should just stay there.
Hahahahahhhahahahaha
Imagine being so thick that you sell out your supposed values of pro LGBT and don't even get paid by Saudi Arabia to do it.
I live in saudi arabia two years probably best place.. less crime nice building but really hot 😅 😊
a few days later and he’s already joined ajax lol
And that’s not true at all. We have a double tax treaty with Saudi. If he’s charged tax here, he can claim it back under the tax treaty law. Just creating content for the sake of it regardless of the credibility, huh?
I could listen to Reuben teach me about UK Tax Law all day.
He might say he wants out, but Jordan Henderson says a lot of things he doesn't really believe, so I'm inclined to take it with a pinch of salt.
Always was, is and will be a coward and fraud. How people only wised up to this fake 'social crusader and leader' shows how many casuals follow the sport. Let him rot where he belongs.
why are they living in Bahrain? LOL Dammam is a very western newer city..
😭😭😭😭😭 cry
This is a great example of what happens when you have uncompetitively high taxes. Here we have a multi-millionaire who actively wants to work in the UK, but will instead work in Holland because our tax rate is too high.
An excellent real-world example of tax economics
He wasn't good enough and was getting embarrassed by Saudi players. That's the real reason why he wants to leave.
Henderson hasn't been paid according to reports and has forsaken it to get his release
Henderson gonna takr all that money and invest it into lgbt orginizations
I need to know what salary GLAAD offered before I poop on this man for making a lucrative business decision.
I'd have Adam Cleary have you do his voice overs on FourFourTwo
Apparently he never earned a penny 😅
They paid him 36 million for 6 months?
