Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor says the players are enjoying the early impact of Jordan Henderson.

The former Liverpool and England captain has quickly won over his new teammates.

Taylor said: "None of us find this (Henderson's wages) annoying, because Jordan is such a wonderful and social person. He has been calling players to come and listen to what he has to say. He also wants to know how I like to receive the ball.

"And what we all loved about him in his first game is that he kept going, in attack and when we had to defend. To me it is fantastic to get an insight into what is demanded at the top level. It is too early to say how things will work out exactly with Jordan in our team, but for me it feels really good to have a player like him.

"I sense the same appreciation among other players when they talk about Jordan. The atmosphere has really changed. Jordan is giving us an extra boost. Not only for us, the players, but the fans love him too.' It has brought back the hope that we can still achieve a top-three position in the league."
