Jordan Henderson is set to rejoin the Premier League this summer.
The England international left Ajax via mutual termination with his wages believed to be too much for the Dutch giants.
Now David Ornstein has revealed that Henderson is set to join Brentford as a free agent signing:
“Jordan Henderson is set to join Brentford as a free agent after the midfielder’s exit from Ajax.”
“The 35-year-old England international left the Dutch club when his contract was terminated by mutual agreement — and he will return to the Premier League on a two-year deal until 2027.”
“A medical and paperwork will be done over the weekend but an official announcement is not expected until next week out of respect to former team-mate Diogo Jota and his family, following the Liverpool attacker’s tragic death.”
Henderson is seen as a direct replacement for Christian Norgaard in the deep-lying midfield role, and his leadership and experience are expected to offer Brentford much more.
His arrival is hoped to provide stability as the club faces the loss of key personnel and looks to rebuild for the upcoming Premier League season with Thomas Frank no longer at the helm.
