Today's key events
Ajax 'join race to sign Jordan Henderson in January'
Ajax have reportedly identified Al Ettifaq midfielder Jordan Henderson as a potential January transfer target.
During the summer, Henderson made the controversial decision to end his legendary stint with Liverpool in order to move to the Saudi Pro League.
At the time, the England international - who had previously spoken publicly about his support for the LGBT community - said that he wanted to help 'grow the game' in the Middle East.
In signing a three-year contract with Al Ettifaq, the 33-year-old seemingly committed the next phase of his career to participating in that part of the world, and he has gone on to make 19 appearances in all competitions.

Transfer rumours: Batshuayi to Rangers, Ings to Wolves, Soyuncu to Fulham
Rangers are reportedly in discussions with Fenerbahce forward Michy Batshuayi over a move to the club.
The 30-year-old has been in strong form for his Turkish club during the 2023-24 campaign, scoring eight goals and registering three assists in 21 appearances in all competitions.
Batshuayi's contract is due to expire in June, though, and there is currently speculation surrounding his future, with a number of clubs believed to be interested in his signature.
According to The Sun, Rangers are currently in talks with the Belgium international, who has been identified as the Scottish outfit's number one target in the final third of the field.
Spurs 'beat Bayern in race to sign Dragusin'
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly won the race to secure the signing of Genoa defender Radu Dragusin.
With the lack of depth in central defence exposed in a match against Chelsea in November, head coach Ange Postecoglou has been focused on acquiring a new player for that role in January.
Despite links with Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo, it quickly became apparent that Spurs had set their sights on acquiring the services of Dragusin.
Although he only moved to Genoa in the summer, the Romania international's stock has risen considerably, putting him in the sights of bigger clubs.
Cole Palmer: 'I never wanted permanent Man City exit'
Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer has admitted that he spent the majority of the summer transfer window wanting to remain at Manchester City.
From 2010 onwards, the playmaker was part of the academy system at the Etihad Stadium and ultimately made the progression into the senior ranks.
A total of 41 appearances were made in all competitions, with six goals and two assists being contributed, and the expectation was that Palmer would act as a seamless replacement for Riyad Mahrez.
However, despite scoring a wonder goal in the Community Shield against Arsenal and an effort in the UEFA Super Cup versus Sevilla, Palmer was surprisingly sold by City towards the back end of August.
