Chelsea interested in Henderson
According to „The Athletic“, FC Chelsea is interested in Jordan Henderson. The 36-year-old midfielder could join the Blues on a free transfer from Brentford. Chelsea is looking for experience in their squad. Hoffenheim is monitoring the transfer market but is focused on their own preparations. With 65 goals scored and 52 conceded last season, the TSG aims to strengthen their defense.
