Jordan Henderson Expected Free Transfer Spurs Premier League, Marseille Interest

Jordan Henderson, the former Liverpool captain currently playing for Ajax, could return to the Premier League this summer thanks to a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the Dutch club on a free transfer before mid-July. At 35, Henderson remains a key figure in Thomas Tuchel's England squad and is motivated by the prospect of playing in the 2026 World Cup, with a Premier League return seen as beneficial for his international ambitions. Nottingham Forest, recently qualified for European competition, and Marseille are reportedly interested in signing the midfielder, alongside speculative links to his boyhood club Sunderland. Despite a controversial move to the Saudi Pro League in 2023, which drew criticism due to Saudi Arabia's stance on LGBTQ+ rights, Henderson has regained regular playing time and captaincy at Ajax. He faces a decision between staying at Ajax, who will again compete for domestic honors and European football, or pursuing a new challenge in England. His experience and leadership, combined with the unusual contract clause, make him a valuable target for clubs seeking midfield reinforcements ahead of the new season.
