London's Chelsea may acquire not only Danny Welbeck but also another experienced Englishman.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Chelsea has shown interest in Jordan Henderson, who could leave Brentford as a free agent.

Last season, the 36-year-old Englishman returned to his homeland, where he signed a contract with Brentford. Before that, he had a stint at Amsterdam's Ajax, but he's better known for his time at Liverpool, where he was the team captain.

J. Henderson was called up to the England national team for the World Cup. He unsuccessfully jumped over an LED advertising board after a match against Mexico and broke his arm.

On Monday, rumors also emerged about a possible union between the Blues and Danny Welbeck. However, in this situation, it will be necessary to negotiate with Brighton.
