Jordan Henderson has spent the last two seasons away from England at Ajax. It will be interesting to see if West Ham United decide to make a move for him. The Hammers could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the England international would be an exceptional acquisition.
Ferdinand said via , “He’s still got legs, he can still get around the pitch, which is something that we need in the middle of the park at West Ham. He’s a leader, you know, and I say this all the time but I knew from the minute that he came in at [Sunderland], and I started being around him, I saw things in him that I knew he was going to go on and do what he done in the game. As a West Ham fan, sitting here talking to you guys, we need midfielders and I would take him all day long.”
Henderson has the qualities to thrive in the Premier League, and he has previously helped Liverpool win major trophies, including the league title and the UEFA Champions League. His experience and leadership skills could help West Ham bounce back strongly next season.
West Ham had a disappointing campaign last time out, finishing in the bottom half of the league table. The East London outfit will look to do better next season, and they need to bring in more quality and experience. Signing the former Liverpool midfielder could prove to be a wise decision.
The opportunity to return to his homeland could be quite exciting for Henderson as well. The veteran midfielder has shown his ability in the Netherlands, and he could be eager to return to the Premier League if the opportunity arises.
West Ham are a big club with an ambitious project. The Hammers have brought in a high-quality manager like Graham Potter. It will be interesting to see if they can push for a place in the top half next season.
The East London club managed to win a European trophy not so long ago, and they have quality players at their disposal. With a few intelligent additions, they could do well next season. West Ham will be hoping to push for a respectable finish in the Premier League and perform well in cup competitions as well.
Henderson wants to compete at a high level, and returning to the Premier League could be hard to turn down. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. However, widespread reports have suggested that a return to Sunderland may be on the cards, although for now, he has left Ajax as a free agent.
