Quizzed on the thinking behind his move to Ajax and the stories suggesting that tax bills played a part in that, Henderson told reporters at his official unveiling in Amsterdam: “Don’t believe what you read in the press, I would say! That’s a little bit of advice. It had nothing to do with anything else other than a football decision. I felt it was a perfect opportunity for me to come to such a huge club and try to showcase again what I have tried to do my whole life, and that’s dedicate my life to football and try to be as successful as possible. I feel as though the welcome here has been incredible. I’m very overwhelmed to be given the opportunity to be at this great football club. I just want to repay the faith that has been shown in me. Over the next two-and-a-half years, I will give absolutely everything and dedicate my life to this football club to try and get it back on track and be as successful as possible.”
