Jordan Henderson had attempted to force through a free transfer from Ajax to Monaco last week, but was denied by the Dutch giants, with the former England star now being questioned on his actions

Ajax midfielder Jordan Henderson has hit out at "lies" over his potential transfer from the Dutch club to AS Monaco after his team closed the gap on PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie.

Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson got caught up in a heated exchange with a reporter following Ajax's 2-1 victory over Feyenoord on Sunday. The 34-year-old had reportedly made a dramatic U-turn on his decision to leave the Dutch giants earlier in the week, making it inevitable that post-match questions would centre around his future.
