England midfielder Jordan Henderson is expected to join Brentford after his exit from Ajax on July 9.

The Dutch ended the Brits' contract a year early. The 35-year-old will join the Bees on a two-year deal, with the financial details of the move yet to be disclosed.

But Henderson's move to the Bees will help fill the void left by former Bees captain Christian Norgaard, who has left for Arsenal.

Several European and English clubs had eyes on Henderson, but Brentford were the frontrunners as they won the race to sign the former Liverpool skipper.

Playing in the Premier League will provide Henderson with the platform to stay in Thomas Tuchel's England squad before next summer's World Cup.

The deal formalities are expected to be confirmed in the coming days.

The move to Brentford will return Henderson to the Premier League after he left Liverpool in 2023.

During his 12 years at Anfield Henderson won the Premier League - the club's first league title in 30 years - Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup and Community Shield.

Henderson left the Reds to join Al-Ettifaq on July 27, 2023, in a three-year deal worth £700,000 per week, totalling nearly £36.5 million annually.

His pay made him the highest-paid English footballer at the time, but this 'luxury' lasted less than a year when he terminated his contract abruptly after 6 months, citing professional and personal reasons.

Henderson signed with Ajax on a free transfer, allegedly in an attempt to revive his career.

Henderson was left out of Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 squad, as he had not played for England since 2023.

After Tuchel's appointment as England head coach in January, Henderson has featured in both of the German's squads, making three appearances.
