Jordan Henderson has spent the last two years away from the Premier League with Al-Etifaq and Ajax, but the former captain of Liverpool is now ready to seal his return to the top flight with Brentford
Jordan Henderson will sign a two-year-old deal with Brentford to increase his World Cup hoop with England. The former midfielder of Liverpool stopped Ajax and left the Dutch side 12 months earlier to return to the Premier League.
Henderson, 35, rejected the interest of Porto, among other things, European clubs to return to England. The midfielder believes it will help his opportunities to make Thomas Tuchel team for next summer's world cup
Henderson left Liverpool in 2023 to move to Saudi Arabia for a mega money contract worth £ 700,000 a week, but he did not settle in the Middle East and moved to Ajax for six months in the deal.
He led the Dutch side, but also came close to a move to Monaco in January, which brought him criticism before Ajax blew a nine-point lead in the Eredivisie title race to allow PSV to claim first place.
Henderson will make contact with former Liverpool teammate Cooimhin Kelleher, who came to the bees earlier this summer to be their new no. 1.
Christian Norgaard left for Arsenal and Henderson this week is supposed to be the replacement of the midfielder of Denmark.
Henderson brings an enormous degree of experience with the bee team among the new boss Keith Andrews, after he has won the Premier League and Champions League with Liverpool, as well as the FA Cup and two competition cups.
He made 492 performances in Totalen for the Reds as their skipper, scored 33 times and also picked up 84 caps for England, play at three European championships and three world cups.
It is understood that Henderson's move to Brentford will be formalized next week, with the news coming after he attended the funeral of the former Liverpool Team-Mate Diogo Jota.
Henderson could be seen if they wipe tears away after arriving at the ceremony after his shock -dead, just 28 years after a car accident in Portugal last week.
