Chelsea set to sign midfielder after Danny Welbeck

Chelsea are poised to sign midfielder Jordan Henderson on a free transfer from Brentford in the coming hours.

The west London giants are focused on adding more experience to their squad under the recommendation of manager Xabi Alonso.

The club recently confirmed the recruitment of Brighton & Hove Albion striker Danny Welbeck. The move came as a big surprise for many.

Similarly, the Blues have sought to land an experienced midfielder, and they are now on the verge of landing Henderson on a Bosman transfer.

The former Liverpool captain was recently released by Brentford and he is expected to be announced as a Chelsea player in the next few hours.

Chelsea are still in the market for more signings. They are determined to land a new left-back. Pep Chavarria remains the top target for now.

The Blues have already failed with two bids for the Spanish ace and they are expected to return with a renewed approach for the 28-year-old.
