According to David Ornstein, a reporter from The Athletic, Jordan Henderson will officially join Binford. The 35-year-old England midfielder will return to England after termination of the contract with Ajis and sign a two-year contract with the Bees until 2027. His joining will inject tough temperament and leadership into this Binford, which is undergoing restructuring.
Binford has frequent personnel changes this summer: captain Christian Norgaard switched to Axiannu, head coach Thomas Frank took over as Tottenham coach and goalkeeper Mark Flekken joined Levaguson, and chief scorer Bryan Mbeumo is also striving to transfer to Manchester United.
As analyst Jay Harris said, “This summer is a major change for this West London club.” Jordan Hendason’s joining not only fills the gap in Nogat’s defense position, but more importantly, fills the gap in the leader group.
Xuan Dachen’s resume is undoubtedly: he played for Liverpool in the last 500 games, won the Europa League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, and represented England 84 times. His ability to set standards on the field and promote his juniors has never been questioned. Harris believes: “Hydashen will effectively fill the leadership vacancy left by Norgat and Mill after they left.”
The new coach Keith Andrews will reuse Hendachen to stabilize the midfield, support the defense, and connect the offensive with Mikkel Damsgaard. He will also play the role of mentor to help the growth of Yunus Emre Konak, the rising star who the club has high hopes for.
The national team dream has not ended
Xuan Dachen is also eager to be selected as the English army in the 2026 World Cup. Although he was once marginalized under Shuffaki, he was reused under Thomas Tuchel and won the 84th national team cap in the game against Andorra.
This transfer also contains a reunion. Binford is gradually becoming Liverpool’s “satellite team”, with three former Red Army players, Fabio Carvalho, Sepp van den Berg and Caoimhin Kelleher. Xuan Dachen will join a familiar locker room, and the adaptation process will be smoother.
For Binford, Xuan Dachen is not only a short-term combat power supplement, but also a declaration. Even if many players are lost, the club still has the ambition to maintain competitiveness and defend its Premier League seat. His arrival symbolizes experience, aspiration and professional attitude.
Hendachen chose to return to England rather than accept other European offers. This willingness, coupled with Binford’s recognition of its abilities, makes this “return” particularly worthy of attention.
