Liverpool will face off against their former captain Jordan Henderson next season after it was revealed the 35-year-old is set to sign a two-year deal to join Brentford.

Henderson, who left Liverpool in 2023 to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, recently left Ajax, having opted against extending his contract with the Dutch side.

The former Liverpool captain had been with Ajax since January 2024 following his short stint in Saudi.

While it had been speculated Henderson could be a target for newly promoted Sunderland, his boyhood club and the team he broke through for before signing for Liverpool, it has now been reported the midfielder will sign a two-year-deal with Brentford.
