Liverpool and Jordan Henderson want his switch to Anfield completed by Wednesday.

That's the day the Sunderland midfielder flies to Denmark with the England squad for the Under-21 European Championship, and he does not want concerns about his future to be a distraction during the tournament.

The only thing stopping Henderson becoming Kenny Dalglish's first summer signing is his fee and Liverpool are confident of reaching a compromise with Sunderland after increasing their offer to £15million - just £3m short of the asking price.

Dalglish does not want Henderson's transfer dragging on into next month and is keen to have him at Melwood for the first day of Liverpool's pre-season training.

 

[King Binny]

SUNDERLAND officials have spelled out their determination to keep both Lee Cattermole and Jordan Henderson, despite Liverpool’s mounting interest in the midfield duo.

However, with Cattermole’s contract understood to include a clause that potentially enables him to speak to prospective suitors, it remains to be seen whether the Black Cats can keep both players this summer.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is hoping to make at least one transfer breakthrough next week, and has instructed his club’s hierarchy to make inquiries into the possible availability of Cattermole and Henderson.

To that end, there has been contact between Anfield and Wearside on at least two occasions this week, although the discussions are understood to have stopped short of a formal bid being lodged.

Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn and manager Steve Bruce are fully aware of the extent of Liverpool’s interest, which has strengthened in the wake of a series of positive reports from the club’s North-East scout, Alan Harper.

Liverpool’s valuation of Henderson is believed to be higher than their price assessment of Cattermole, but the Reds have been monitoring the latter for more than a season.

Bruce was expecting interest in both midfielders this summer, but remains extremely reluctant to part company with either.

Henderson is still at an extremely early stage of his development, and while a senior England debut last autumn underlined how highly he is rated, Sunderland’s backroom staff believe he will only get better.

Cattermole is at a much more advanced stage of his career, but is still just 23, despite having made more than 150 Premier League appearances.

He was Bruce’s first signing as Sunderland manager and retained the captain’s armband last season despite his disciplinary problems, underlining the depth of the relationship between manager and player. Cattermole is, however, deeply ambitious, and a move to a Liverpool side hoping to compete for a Champions League place next season would appeal.

Sunderland are hoping their skipper’s head will not be turned, but Bruce will be willing to hold a series of one-to-one talks if he feels Cattermole needs reassurances about the direction the club are heading in.

Alan Harper it is... Brought in by Roy Hodgson. :-X

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is making old boy Alan Harper a new 'signing' as a talent-spotter to land future British talent.

Hodgson has snapped up Harper from Bolton Wanderers and given him a senior role as a spy on his staff who will be told to find new players for the next window and beyond.

Harper played for Liverpool and Everton and his knowledge of domestic football will be an asset at the Kop where they have relied on recruiting foreign players in recent years.

Wanderers have let Harper go to Anfield, where he will be in a 'senior' position and will report directly to Hodgson as Liverpool try to improve their ability in earmarking talent for the first team.

It's a good job you haven't advocated any young English talent that's marginally overpriced then isn't it?

I can't believe Jordan Henderson is our no1 transfer priority this summer! Are he and Cattermole even any better than Spearing and Lucas?

It's a funny one that's for sure. There's also Shelvey who everyone has high hopes for in the years to come.

I could fully understand this signing if Lucas hadn't progressed as much as he has, likewise Spearing.

As i said before, i'm sure Kenny knows what he's doing, certainly more than i do but i'm not sure about this one.

Two points as well:

1) with all these links, maybe the owners are willing to give Kenny more money for player transfers than we first thought

2) i wonder if the likes of Joe Cole, N'Gog, Poulsen, Soto etc could be used as part of any deal for Henderson/Jones/Wickham or whoever?

 

[mark1975]

I don't know why people read so much into these things and exaggerate.

It's the beginning of June, we still have three months of activity ahead of us.

No one has said he's a priority, let alone our 'number one target'. Christ, it's only paper talk at the minute, we might not even be that interested, if at all.

We're definitely after Henderson and Wickham mate, bids have been lodged but yeah, there's a lot of nonsense links - Barton, Cattermole and Drogba, don't know where people get these stories from.

I'm sure Kenny wants to get these deals asap, get the new signings in for the beginning of pre-season, which starts early July doesn't it?

Yeah July mate, I'm just astounded at how many people are getting carried away with what is essentially speculation. Even if we are in for this lad, where does it say he's our prime target for the Summer and where does it say we won't be buying the kind of top drawer established players we all want? No one knows, let's just see how it pans out.

 

[King Binny]

The U21 tournament for England is starting soon too. Perhaps trying to snap targets (from the squad - Wickham, Henderson) up before their price inflates further or garner more interests after a successful campaign.

 

[Hansern]

Hendersons best position is at right wing accoring to the Sunderland fans.

[/quote]isnt henderson a winger

 

[Judge Jules]

Not really. He's more of a general purpose MF who can play anywhere across the line in midfield. When I've seen him play, he's been in the middle more often than out wide.

Looks quality from this

Is he any good on the right?
[/quote]

A winger by trade, he was never anywhere but wide on the right throughout his youth days, and indeed at Coventry it was on the wing where he impressed.

But Bruce has recognised Henderson's natural physique, an all-around athlete whose engine he obviously feels is wasted out wide.

Indeed Henderson has now moved into central midfield and has taken to the role like a duck to water. His excellent close control and skill means he has the raw material to make it in the engine room.

Whilst his tackling is a work in progress, it is far from being a weak link in his game, but his willingness to cover almost every blade of grass on the pitch means he rarely needs to dive in to a challenge.

[Hansern]

Yeah, great looking prospect. Would like us to sign him, his versatility is only a bonus imho.

According to another site a fee has been agreed. Starting at 10 mill £.

They claimed it was a 10 mill initial fee, that could be 15 mill with add ons for all we know. If its true mind.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish will offer to pay Jordan Henderson FOUR TIMES his Sunderland salary in a desperate bid to hijack the England starlet’s expected switch to Manchester United this summer.

Dalglish hopes to agree a fee with Steve Bruce’s club and reckons he is closing in on a deal worth up to £16million with the Black Cats.

Henderson is reported to be shocked by developments, particularly Liverpool’s proposal to hand him a £65,000-a-week contract, when he currently gets £15,000.

But United boss Sir Alex Ferguson still reckons he is the one holding all the aces in the race. He is considering swap and loan deals with his former skipper Bruce after talks last week. Ferguson has asked to be kept informed if the Wearside club decide to cash in on £20m-rated Henderson, who is heading to Denmark this summer as a key member of Stuart Pearce’s Under-21 side.

Bruce is desperate to land Old Trafford midfielder Darron Gibson as well as experienced defender Wes Brown – and they could form part of a swop deal.

The key to the deal could be Ferguson’s stance on Danny Welbeck, with Bruce wanting to take the highly-rated youngster on loan again.

England striker Welbeck spent last season on loan at the Stadium of Light and impressed.

Ferguson is still weighing up the best options for the 20-year-old having initially told him to report back to Old Trafford and prepare to go on the club’s summer tour to America.

But having handed Michael Owen another one-year deal, Welbeck’s situation is under review – and Bruce hopes he can grab him again on a long-term loan.
