At Ajax, Jordan Henderson is already shattering records; in the club’s illustrious and lengthy history, his No. 6 shirt is selling the quickest.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Having ended a dismal six-month stint at Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq, the England international midfielder is now in the Netherlands. Returning to Europe, the former captain of Liverpool inked a two-and-a-half-year contract in Amsterdam.

THE LARGER IMAGE
There has been a lot of excitement surrounding his debut at Ajax, with supporters lining up to get their hands on official items. That wish list is topped by Henderson’s new No. 6 jersey, shattering previous records set by Dusan Tadic and Daley Blind in terms of sales. In the last 24 hours, Henderson has sold more shirts than the previously mentioned pair did in a week.
WERE YOU AWARENESS?
The Bob Marley special edition Ajax jersey from 2021–2022 is the only one that has done better than Henderson’s. In terms of individual performance, the newest player to join the Johan Cruyff Arena is already exceptional.
WHAT HENDERNSON WILL DO NEXT?
Henderson has not only shown popularity in the Netherlands but also in Asia because to his previous connections to Premier League powerhouse Liverpool. He has taken up Davy Klaassen’s No. 6, and if he registers in time, he should be able to make his Eredivisie debut against RKC Waalwijk on Sunday.
