Jordan Henderson has confirmed the mutual termination of his Brentford contract this summer, opening himself up to a free transfer at a time when he has been heavily linked with Chelsea.
The 36-year-old midfielder only signed a two-year deal with the Bees last summer after pushing for an exit from Ajax. Formerly of Sunderland and Liverpool, Henderson enjoyed an impressive campaign back in England’s top flight, featuring in 32 Premier League matches as Keith Andrews’s side climbed all the way up to ninth, one position and point above their west London rivals, and Henderson’s potential new team, Chelsea.
