Chelsea are leading the race to sign midfielder Jordan Henderson from Brentford on a free transfer. The 36-year-old former England captain has a year left on his contract at the club.
Chelsea are pushing to sign the veteran midfielder, with several other Premier League clubs also interested in his services. Brentford are willing to let Henderson leave despite the remaining contract term.
Henderson featured regularly for Brentford last season with 22 Premier League starts. He joined the club from Ajax last summer after spells at Liverpool and Al Ettifaq.
The move aligns with Chelsea's recent focus on experienced players during the current transfer window. Henderson was part of England's World Cup squad this summer but suffered a broken left arm during the tournament.
