Jordan Henderson is set to return to England by signing for Brentford on a free transfer. The former Liverpool captain left Ajax after deciding not to trigger a 12-month extension to his contract with the Dutch club. And Brentford have moved for the 35-year-old as they look for a replacement for Christian Norgaard, who has joined Arsenal.

New Brentford boss Keith Andrews sees Henderson as a key figure in the team’s rebuild. With Christian Norgaard off to Arsenal and a few other big names gone, Brentford needed someone to take charge in the middle. Who better than the man who lifted the Premier League, Champions League, and just about everything else in a Liverpool shirt?

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.
