After primarily signing younger players over previous years, someone like 36-year-old Jordan Henderson has shown that the strategy can work.
Connor Johnson argues that 36-year-old Jordan Henderson has emerged as an unexpectedly vital leader for Chelsea following his summer arrival.

Johnson notes Henderson's strong partnership with Moises Caicedo and his match-leading distance covered across recent starts against Bournemouth and Everton.
