Jordan Henderson’s return to the Premier League with Brentford will be confirmed next week after the England midfielder agreed a two-year contract with the Bees.
The 35-year-old, who ended a sometimes turbulent spell at Ajax this month, will fill the void left by Christian Nørgaard in a much-changed Brentford setup. Nørgaard, who had been the club’s captain, joined Arsenal this week and the expectation is that Henderson’s experience will be critical to the revamped engine room.
