Chelsea eye former Ajax captain as Henderson nears move

Former Ajax midfielder Jordan Henderson, 36, is on the brink of a high‑profile move to Chelsea in the Premier League after terminating his contract with Brentford. British media report he is close to agreeing a multi‑year deal with the London club.

Chelsea have also secured an agreement with experienced striker Danny Welbeck. The 35‑year‑old arrives on a free transfer from Brighton & Hove Albion and has signed a contract until 2028.

Ajax are monitoring FC Twente right‑back Bart van Rooij, 25, as a potential replacement for Anton Gaaei. No bid has yet been placed, and the move depends on Gaaei’s departure.

Twente turned down an English offer of €10 million from Wolverhampton Wanderers last winter. This summer the club is prepared to discuss a similar fee for Van Rooij.

Feyenoord and PSV have also placed the defender on their radar should they lose full‑backs. Both clubs remain in the market for a right‑back.
