England midfielder Jordan Henderson has signed a two-year contract with Premier League club Brentford, marking a new chapter in his career following his departure from Ajax earlier this summer. The move comes as a free transfer, bringing the experienced international to the Bees ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Henderson, who has earned 84 caps for the England national team, brings a wealth of experience to the Brentford squad. The 35-year-old began his career at Sunderland before enjoying a trophy-laden 12-year spell at Liverpool, where he served as captain and won major honours including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. After leaving Liverpool in 2023, he had short stints at Saudi club Al-Ettifaq and then Ajax in the Netherlands.
His time at Ajax was brief, but Henderson remained a consistent presence on the pitch, offering leadership and stability in midfield. With Brentford, he now returns to the Premier League, where his leadership and game intelligence are expected to play a crucial role.
Football Transfer News: Kepa Arrizabalaga Officially Signs For Arsenal From Chelsea, Aims To Win Titles With Gunners
Arsenal have officially completed the signing of Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea in a deal worth £5 million. The 30-year-old joins the North London club as Mikel Arteta continues to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2025–26 season. Kepa becomes Arsenal’s first senior signing of the summer window, bringing experience and depth to the goalkeeping department.
Upon signing, Kepa expressed optimism about Arsenal’s future and the potential to finally end their long wait for a Premier League title. “We're here to win. I think we have a great team,” he said. “When I talk with Mikel [Arteta] and Inaki [Cana], they show me their desire to win. They showed me this ambition, how much they want to improve, how much they want to grow and I'm really here to help, to push and to win more.”
Kepa is expected to compete with current Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Arteta is believed to value Kepa’s experience in big matches, including European nights, and sees him as a valuable addition both on and off the pitch.
With Arsenal narrowly missing out on the Premier League title in consecutive seasons, the arrival of Kepa signals their continued intent to bolster key areas and push for major honours. Whether as a first-choice or rotational keeper, Kepa’s presence adds quality and competition to the squad.
Arsenal fans will now be watching closely to see how the Spaniard integrates into the team and whether he can contribute to ending their long-standing title drought.
