Reports: Chelsea interested in signing United goalkeeper on free transfer

The reigning Premier League champions Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Dean Henderson from Manchester United, according to The Daily Mirror.

The Blues are set to battle with the likes of Arsenal for the goalkeeper’s signature on a free transfer at the end of the season.

The report suggests, both of the London outfits are keen on signing the 20-year-old keeper from United, with the shot-stopper’s current contract at Old Trafford is set to expire at the end of the season.

The report adds, Henderson is also attracting interest from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Watford, Stoke City, West Brom and Southampton.

Henderson is currently serving his loan spell to unbeaten League One leaders Shrewsbury and it remains to be seen whether the keeper will extend his stay at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are currently preparing up for their Premier League encounter against Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday noon.
