Chelsea FC are ready to double Dean Henderson’s wages in order to win the race to sign the Manchester United shot-stopper this summer, according to a report in England.
The Manchester Evening News is reporting that Chelsea FC have contacted Manchester United about signing the 23-year-old in a permanent deal in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The same article states states that the Blues are ready to double Henderson’s current wages to take his salary to £170,000 a week in order to land the English goalkeeper.
According to the same story, the west London side have contacted Henderson’s representatives about securing the on-loan Sheffield United goalkeeper ahead of the new season.

The Sheffield United goalkeeper has kept 13 clean sheets in the current campaign, while De Gea has racked up 12 shutouts despite his poor form this term.
Manchester United will take on Leicester City in their final Premier League game of the 2019-20 campaign on Sunday.
