Brentford BRERecorded meetings: 0 (available previous meetings, not necessarily all-time).
Jordan Henderson says joining Chelsea "was a huge opportunity" and one that he just couldn't turn down. The 36-year-old midfielder joins the Blues after reaching a mutual agreement with Brentford to terminate his contract. Like Danny Welbeck, Henderson has signed a two-year-deal.
Brentford head coach Keith Andrews says club-record signing Mamadou Sangare "fits everything we want from a player". The Lens midfielder, who was included in Ligue 1's 2025-26 Team of the Year, has signed a five-year contract with a club option for a further year. Sangare made 33 appearances in all competitions last season, helping Lens to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and to a first-ever Coupe de France title.
The transfer rumours are continuing to swirl around Jordan Henderson, with Brentford understood to be willing to let the 36-year-old go on a free transfer this summer despite him still having one year left on his contract. It is fair to say fans are split on the situation, with one supporter commenting: "The difference between what Brentford will lose by letting Henderson leave and what Chelsea would gain by signing him is massive." The England international was a key figure on and off the pitch as Keith Andrews' side made a push for the European football spots but ultimately fell short on goal difference.
