Chelsea have moved a step closer to signing Jordan Henderson after Brentford ended the midfielder’s contract. The England international is now nearing what would be a surprise switch to Stamford Bridge.
Henderson, 36, spent just one season with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. During that spell, he made 34 appearances for the Bees before his exit was confirmed.
The departure brings Henderson’s short stay at Brentford to an early close and clears the way for his expected move to Chelsea. Given how recently he arrived and how regularly he featured, the development stands out as an unexpected turn.
While the transfer has not yet been formally completed, Henderson leaving Brentford is a significant step toward the deal. Attention will now turn to Chelsea as the move edges closer to being finalized.
