Jordan Henderson's an Ajax record-breaker already! New No.6 shirt becomes Dutch club's fastest-selling jersey of all time

Jordan Henderson is already breaking records at Ajax, with his No.6 jersey becoming the fastest-selling in the club’s long and distinguished history.

WHAT HAPPENED?
The England international midfielder finds himself in the Netherlands after bringing an unhappy six-month spell at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq to a close. The former Liverpool captain has returned to Europe and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract in Amsterdam.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
His arrival at Ajax has caused quite a stir, with fans scrambling to claim a piece of official merchandise. Henderson's new No.6 jersey tops that wish list, with previous sale records posted by Dusan Tadic and Daley Blind being smashed. Henderson has shifted more shirts in 24 hours than the aforementioned duo managed in a week.
DID YOU KNOW?
The only Ajax jersey that has outperformed Henderson’s is the Bob Marley special edition shirt from 2021-22. When it comes to an individual player, the latest recruit at the Johan Cruyff Arena now stands in a league of his own.

WHAT NEXT FOR HENDERSON?
It is not only in the Netherlands that Henderson has proved popular, with his past ties to Premier League giants Liverpool ensuring that he is also a big draw in Asia. He has taken the No.6 vacated by Davy Klaassen and, if he is registered in time, will hope to make his debut in Sunday's Eredivisie clash with RKC Waalwijk.
