Henderson’s return to Sunderland brings not only his playmaking skills but also the potential to mentor rising stars Bellingham and Rigg, both tipped as future England internationals. While the Sunderland midfield has thrived under Le Bris this season, Henderson’s presence could slow their progress. However, the experience and leadership of a former England captain, especially one with deep ties to the club, remain invaluable.

Conway joins: 2 signings Coventry City should try make before Stoke match on August 10th

Nottingham Forest club captain Joe Worrall is facing an uncertain future at the City Ground, with a summer exit likely. Coventry City should persist in their efforts to sign the 27-year-old to strengthen the heart of their defense.

Worrall, who has made 226 appearances for Forest since joining at age 14, seems set to end his 13-year association with the club. Despite playing a key role in their 2022 promotion to the Premier League, he has been used sparingly since and was loaned out to Besiktas last season. Coventry manager Mark Robins has emphasized the need to add leadership to his squad following the departures of players like Kelly and Godden earlier in the summer. Worrall, with his experience and quality, would be an excellent addition to the backline for the new campaign.

Securing an agreement with Forest for Worrall before August 10 would be an ideal move for Coventry, potentially key to pushing them back into the play-off places for the 2024/25 season.
