England coach Gareth Southgate won't shut the door on Jordan Henderson being part of their Euro 2024 team.

The former Liverpool captain has just signed for Al-Ettifaq of the Saudi Pro League.

Southgate told talkSPORT: "I've spoken with Jordan this summer, the question he wanted to know was, 'if I move here, are you going to automatically rule me out?' We would be stupid to do that, why would we rule any player out just based on where they're playing?

"We've got to see how they're playing, what level they're playing at and how they are physically and everything else. The fact is we've got an idea of what that league might look like but we don't actually know until we start to see the games.

"If you'd said three months ago what that would look like, I'd have had a very different view as to what it's looking like as more and more players have signed to go there - big name players, not so many players right in the prime of their career, but not players that are past their sell by date.

"So, I think that whole project is fascinating for where it's going to head and what that might look like over the next couple of years, but it isn't the Premier League, we won't see him playing in Champions League football, which is the easiest assessment for us of the level he's playing at, and he knows the players he's competing with. That's the challenge for all of them.
