With Micky Beale desperate to shift on the deadwood in his squad Steven Gerrard is preparing to buy Jack Hendry from Brugge.
Since a miracle season during Lockdown on loan at Oostende things have gone downhill for Hendry who spent the first half of last season on loan at Italian side Cremonese before being returned to Belgium.
Gerrard is poised to sign free agent Moussa Dembele but a £5m cheque to Bruges for Hendry will be a painful blow for Beale’s hopes of raising fresh funds.
John Lundstram, Kemar Roofe, Borna Barisic, Scott Wright and Glen Kamara were all signed by Gerrard but their former boss has shown to interest in ‘raiding’ Ibrox as he gets to work in Saudi.
The new manager of Al Ettifaq is clearly body swerving Beale’s squad as he attempts to revive his managerial reputation in the Saudi League.
Al Ettifaq are set to sign Jack Hendry on permanent deal from Club Brugge. He’ll join Steven Gerrard team after medical this week. ???

Hendry is under contract with Brugge until 2025, after returning from Italy he played in just seven Jupiler League matches.
It is understood that Bayern Munich won’t receive any cut on the transfer fee.
Slippy bought the sevco 5 he knows weren’t good enough for Scottish league never mind Saudi league and now it’s telling they won’t leave because the famous 5 have not generated any interest same as el buffalo they not rated by any European club or Scottish Premier league why because these guys think they are great players because hype n daily toilet paper record they believed the hype now they replaced by free transfers n relagation guys so perhaps they might make move to blue toon Peterhead cud be last chance play football this season where can show there talents and have scouts from world over depending on Peterhead if they hit run form but likely one or 2 cud go cove rangers so will see how all plays out for them I wish them luck it’s hard division to get out from as sevco will testify too
Yes slippy rather trust player who cudnt make grade at celtic to solve his problems hh
