Jordan Henderson, Brentford and Chelsea
Wednesday
Jordan Henderson has left Brentford after the club mutually terminated the final year of his contract. The decision makes the 36-year-old England midfielder a free agent and clears the way for his expected move to Chelsea.
Brentford said Henderson wanted a different challenge during the closing years of his career and the club agreed not to block him. Chelsea have targeted his leadership and experience as Xabi Alonso reshapes a previously youthful squad.
