Jordan Henderson has been linked with a shock move to Chelsea this week, with the Blues clearly seeking experience for the new term after seeing an approach for Granit Xhaka swiftly rejected.

But is he a right fit for the West London club?

@Terry94023972 As good a take as you’ll get that, Tez!

Hoping that European football and more games to play (more opportunity for rotation) is a big sell for the targets we’re going for🤞 but Ghisolfi and KLD will be making it clear what we’re after, and I’ve got faith in them

OPINION 💭:

With the new season approaching - and very little business done in terms of incomings - I've given my take on what SAFC must do over the next month or so to ensure they thrive domestically and in Europe next season - @ChronicleLive

Chelsea FC have made moves for Premier League veterans Danny Welbeck from Brighton & Hove Albion and Jordan Henderson from Brentford FC to bolster Xabi Alonso’s squad.

@JamesCopley_ We will only get a couple of years out of him, but a top class talent for cover and rotation at right back - an area we needed to strengthen after Geertruida debacle.

Brings European experience and can pass on his knowledge to Hume. Excellent signing on a free ✅

🇨🇭 Our captain is in #FIFAWorldCup Round of 16 action this evening.

Best of luck, Granit! 👊

Last game of the season against Chelsea when we got Europe despite some of the worst officiating I can hand on heart say I’ve ever seen in the Premier League.

What was it, four penalties we should have had?

Actually not trying to wind anyone up.

Genuinely just asking…

But you “club over country” lot… when was the last time you celebrated like last night over your club?

Speculation will always be speculation, cast your judgement when the club or player actually come out and say something.

BREAKING: Granit Xhaka reaffirms commitment to Sunderland despite Chelsea bid.

“Xhaka’s strong relationship with Sunderland supporters and his connection with the club have also played an important role in his desire to continue his journey at the Stadium of Light.” @SkySports

BREAKING 🚨: Tottenham Hotspur have reached a £100m agreement with Newcastle United over Sandro Tonali.

FL understand the Italian midfielder is on his way to North London for an initial £92.5m and a further £7.5m in performance based add-ons.

OPINION 🤔: I still believe that Granit Xhaka will stay at Sunderland for the new season, but here’s why it may not be a bad thing if Chelsea manage to broker a deal for the SAFC skipper…

@gazk_mackem @JamesCopley_ And still playing at 40, albeit likely to retire after the World Cup 🤷‍♂️ same calibre as Xhaka

EXCLUSIVE 🚨: I spoke with Sunderland and Arsenal legend Stefan Schwarz this week about Granit Xhaka's recent interest from Chelsea, and he told me where he sees the Black Cats' skipper playing next season.

🚨 EXCL: Sunderland reject £8m offer from Chelsea to sign Granit Xhaka. #SAFC told #CFC 33yo not for sale at any price. Stamford Bridge club felt bid fair but PL rivals viewed as unacceptable + insist no further proposals will be entertained @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/NXHnJPkzL5

[A-ARON @Itsaaronmorris]

A gentle reminder that calling out Xhaka on his and Sunderland’s pages after speculation won’t reflect well on us and could even be turning his head.

Nothing a done deal yet, all speculation until the club announce something…
