The Sunderland hierarchy are aware Henderson is likely to leave Ajax this summer and believe he would add valuable experience to their young team.

England midfielder Henderson, 35 next month, is understood to be open to returning the Stadium of Light. 

He started his career in the Sunderland academy before he broke into the first-team picture in 2008.

Three years later he left for Liverpool and collected a full set of major trophies - winning the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup - during his 12 years at Anfield.

Henderson completed a controversial move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ettifaq in 2023 but spent just six months in the Middle East before a move to Ajax.

Meanwhile, Sunderland are keen to keep Jobe Bellingham, who has held talks with Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund.
