Jordan Henderson is set to join Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq after Liverpool agreed a fee in principle of £12m plus add-ons for their captain with the Saudi Pro League club.

The midfielder was omitted from Liverpool’s first friendly of pre-season on Wednesday against Karlsruher SC in Germany after a breakthrough in negotiations.
