Chelsea signed veteran England midfielder Jordan Henderson to a two-year contract on Monday (August 3, 2026) following his departure from Brentford last week. The 36-year-old Henderson is Chelsea’s oldest signing since BlueCo took over the club in 2022. Henderson won the Champions League in 2019 and Premier League in 2020 with Liverpool. “I was also so impressed with how much the ownership want Chelsea to be successful and move in the right direction.” Henderson’s off-season signing follows that of Danny Welbeck, Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, and Geovany Quenda by the Stamford Bridge club.
