Jordan Henderson's 'Ajax future is DOUBT already, just four months after joining the Dutch giants… as the England international's nightmare season continues'

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 11, 2024
Jordan Henderson 's future at Ajax is already in doubt after the club failed to qualify for the Champions League for the second season in a row. The Dutch giants are lie in fifth place in the Eredivisie, but will miss out out on a place at Europe's top table with only the top two going straight into the competition, while third place sees a route via the qualifying round. The Champions League's new format next season, will see an extra £372million  in prize money for the 36 teams involved for 2024/25, which Ajax now stand to miss out on. The financial hit means the future of big earners like Henderson and Steven Bergwijn face an uncertain future, given the financial problems at the Johan Cruyff Arena. There is no desire for the former European champions to sell the two players, but as the club's biggest earners, could be forced to cash-in on their assets if the opportunity arrises.

There are less than two weeks until the transfer window is closed, and the competition is brisk as a slew of clubs looks to make winter moves. Arsenal and Chelsea have long expressed an interest in a striker, with Karim Benzema thought to be a viable alternative.

Kalvin Phillips has drew a lot of interest this season, with the Hammers and Newcastle showing their interest. On Friday, Mail Sport picks the best transfer news from the newspaper.

Danny Ings, a West Ham striker, is keen, but Hammers boss David Moyes is reluctant to lose Ings at this point, following Michail Antonio's setback in his recovery from a knee injury. West Ham needs a wide receiver and have included Steven Bergwijn of Ajax as one of their choices. Danny Ings joined the Hammers in 2023 and has scored three times for the London club, but Wolves are apparently keen on signing the former Southampton player.

Following last year's World Cup, every nation will have high hopes for future success. Following a humiliating experience, see Belgium, several nations are trying to rip it all up. Some are simply hoping to improve marginally after disappointing performances that eventually ended in disappointment - see Portugal and England. While others, some countries are extremely proud and are just keen to keep the next generation of talent coming through - see World Cup champion Argentina. However, a new generation of international stars has been welcomed to squads around the world as the first international break since Lionel Messi lifted the coveted trophy.

Louis van Gaal has speculated at the possibility of moving Holland for Belgium after the World Cup, but joked that he'd have to 'convince his wife' to move over the border.

A trip across Holland and Belgium would not be too difficult physically for the 71-year-old, but convincing Truus may be another story.

Holland certainly has the most unique and eerie one so far as far as World Cup squad announcements are concerned.

JOHN McGARRY: Rangers' toiling to reach the Champions League has scarcely been worth it

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 2, 2022
If a reappearance on this stage for the first time since 2010, it was seen as vital in order to bookend the turbulent years that followed insolvency. Never has the old wisdom of being aware of what you want to hear more apt as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side has gone from one tragedy to another. Never has the Europa League seemed so enthralling.

In Group 4, Virgil van Dijk's 73rd minute header earns top position and an unbeaten finish for Holland

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 25, 2022
After a dramatic 1-0 win in Ajax, Holland remained solid under heavy pressure from Belgium before scoring late to finish runners of group 4 in the UEFA Nations League. With a characteristic header from a corner in the 73rd minute, Virgil van Dijk sealed an unbeaten Nations League bid at the Amsterdam Arena for the Dutch. They ended with 16 points, six more than Belgium, who had a chance to leapfrog their neighbors, and took first place, but they had to win by three goals or more on Sunday to do so. Any hopes of a goal game were quickly dashed, however, as the two teams effectively killed each other in a close tactical battle.

Tim Krul, a long-serving goalkeeper, was axed from Holland's team by manager Louis van Gaal

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 23, 2022
Ex Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has cut Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul from the Holland squad. Since making his international debut on the international stage in 2011, the 34-year-old has been a regular for his national team, but he has been left out of Holland's Nations League fixtures against Poland and Belgium. Holland defeated Poland 2-0 thanks to goals from Manchester United transfer target and PSV captain Cody Gakpo, as well as former Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn, as well as former Tottenham winger Steven Bergwijn, who was born in the Netherlands, while Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer took up the slot between the posts.

Holland is 0-2. Cody Gakpo and Steven Bergwijn attack Oranj to lift the hosts over the hosts

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 22, 2022
When Holland defeated Poland 2-0 in a Nations League match in the National Stadium Warsaw, the Manchester United transfer target was on the scoresheet. With an injury, Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopendras was compelled to leave the game early. However, this did not discourage Oranj because PSV captain Cody Gakpo led his side into the lead with a smooth finish at the back post. In the 52nd minute, Arkadiusz Milik should have equalized for the home team, but he ended his attempt from close range. The mistake would have been costly unless Steven Bergwijn doubled Holland's lead eight minutes later.

'Bro, that is just disrespectful! Calvin Bassey, a defender for Ajax, mocks outrage in a humourous video.'

Clavin Bassey, an Ajax defender, would not believe he was only a silver card in FIFA 23 and thought the rating was 'disrespectful' to him. Professional footballers will be able to find their ratings on the game in two weeks. For certain players, it doesn't matter, but for those that play FIFA 23, their EA Sports' rating is a matter of pride, since it will determine how well they're on the game.

In a Champions League match, Liverpool should be aware of the Ajax threat

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 13, 2022
Early season results have included a 6-1 win over Groningen, a 4-0 victory over Cambuur, and Heerenveen's 5-0 thrashes. Ajax started their Champions League campaign with a 4-0 loss to Rangers last week, where the Scottish club's class difference was painfully apparent. So, despite Antony and Sebastien Haller's departures in the summer, who were responsible for 46 percent of their goals last season, they don't appear to be any worse off when it comes to finding the net. Ajax have averaged 3.5 goals per game this season, including the curtain-raising Johan Cruyff Shield, who lost 5-3 to PSV Eindhoven. All of which bodes not well for Liverpool's out-of-sorts team, who welcome Ajax to Anfield on matchday two of the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Rangers, according to Giovanni van Bronckhorst, "will not compete" with Europe's financial power

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 8, 2022
Last night, Giovanni van Bronckhorst said it was too much to ask Rangers to compete with the Champions League's financial powerhouses. The Ibrox club took a beating at Ajax in the Johan Cruyf ArenA, returning to Europe's top competition after a 12-year absence. As the Rangers' defense unraveled just four days after their woes at Celtic Park, the Dutch outfit collapsed three times in 16 first-half minutes through Edson Alvarez, Steven Berghuis, and Mohammed Kudus.

With two goals in 115 seconds, Steven Berghuis and Mohammed Kudus made it 3-0, with Kudus netting a superb solo effort for the match's goal. Steven Bergwijn, the Dutch winger, continued his fins form after bouncing onto a loose back pass and rounding McLaughlin.

As they return to Champions League, the Ajax have had a turbulent summer

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 7, 2022
A few weeks after the transfer window closed, Ajax is still reeling from the ramifications of a turbulent summer. With the return of Champions League football to Rangers on Wednesday, there is also resentment at the departure of so many key players and how the transactions were handled. Gerry Hamstra, Manchester's sporting director, made no secret of his annoyance that Manchester United were able to sign Brazilian winger Antony just before the deadline last week, leaving Ajax with almost no time to replace him.
