Pochettino finally reacts to reports linking Chelsea with 33-year-old former Liverpool star

Mauricio Pochettino has played down reports linking Chelsea with a move for Jordan Henderson.

Henderson moved to Saudi club, Al-Ittifaq from Liverpool over the summer, but rumours are now surfacing that Chelsea want the 33-year-old.

Asked about Henderson after Chelsea’s 4-0 FA Cup win against Preston, Pochettino said: “To be honest we didn’t talk about names. At the moment we are not talking about bringing players.

“I saw Behdad (Eghbali) here in the manager’s room with Paul (Winstanley) and Laurence (Stewart). I think tomorrow we are going to have a chat because we will be in the training ground. We didn’t talk about names or talk about position, we didn’t talk to bring players.

“For now, we are focusing on players like Andrey Santos to see what we are going to do.”
