Chelsea are pushing ahead with an ambitious double move as negotiations continue for experienced England internationals Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson. Welbeck’s signature is reportedly close to being secured on a lucrative £135,000-per-week contract, with all parties optimistic that an agreement will soon be finalized.
Meanwhile, the Blues have emerged as frontrunners in the race for former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who is available to leave Brentford on a free transfer. Despite interest from Xabi Alonso’s side and two other clubs, Chelsea currently lead the chase, with discussions progressing positively between all parties.
Both English veterans are understood to be enthusiastic about a move to Stamford Bridge, seeing the project as an exciting opportunity to add experience and leadership to the squad. Henderson, in particular, is said to be open to the switch as negotiations continue.
