Jordan Henderson has had enough of “growing the game” in Saudi Arabia, and apparently wants to come back to England. After six months of earning £350,000 a week playing for a mid-table Saudi Pro League side in Al-Ettifaq, Henderson has reportedly put out feelers to see if there would be any takers in the Premier League, with Chelsea mooted as a potential destination.
I know what you’re thinking. Chelsea? Surely with FFP, they can’t afford Henderson’s salary? He’s 33, for goodness sake. Chelsea? They already have Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Conor Gallagher and Roméo Lavia as holding central midfielders. Why would/could they sign him? Because: modern football, baby.
