Dean Henderson Next Club Odds

With just one Premier League start to his name this season, Dean Henderson is reportedly getting a tad itchy on the sidelines.

The 23-year-old is currently playing back-up to David de Gea at Manchester United, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking to mould the Englishman into the club's number one, as opposed to forcing him in. As per the MEN though, Henderson has recently held talks with his manager over his role in the squad, expressing a desire for first-team minutes.

With the Euros next summer, the goalkeeper is wanting to showcase that he can be the nation's number one in-between the sticks. Such an opportunity will only arise, should he be playing consistently at club-level though.

With January looming, we've looked into the prices for Henderson's next club - load deals do count.

The most obvious place to start is Sheffield United. Prior to returning to the Red Devils, Henderson had spent the last two years at Bramall Lane, heavily contributing to the club's promotion back to the promise-land, and also their incredible campaign last season.

Finishing 9th in the table, the Englishman started 36 PL games - the only two he missed was during his ineligibility to face his parent club. Henderson kept 13 clean sheets, with the Blades' defensive record being a key factor behind their surprise league finish.

Such context has no doubt played its part in the betting market, with Sheffield United being the standout favourites for Henderson's signature at 23/10. Things haven't gone to plan for Chris Wilder this season, with his side sitting rock bottom. They will certainly look for reinforcements in January - could they opt for a familiar face to steady the sip at the back?

Despite their short odds, it does potentially seem unlikely. They invested £20m in Aaron Ramsdale last summer, and bringing in a short-term loan would surely destroy the former's confidence and status.

Another team struggling down at the bottom is West Brom - no team in the division has conceded more goals this season (25).

Such a statistic would presumably have Slaven Bilic looking for defensive recruits in January, but similar to the Blades, would a new arrival come in the shape of a goalkeeper? The men in-between in the sticks hold such a unique position on the field, and analysing whether a club needs a new goalkeeper is always a tricky debate.

Sam Johnstone has been a key starter at the Hawthorns for the past three seasons - fairly solid on his day, but not a world beater by any means. If Henderson were to come available for a short-term deal, would he suffice as an upgrade?

Paddy Power have West Brom at second in line at 5/1 to sign the Man United youngster.

Alphonse Areola's arrival at Fulham in summer certainly raised some eyebrows - the Frenchman has represented both Paris-Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in recent seasons, so his decision to join up with Scott Parker at Craven Cottage was quite the surprise.

Joining on loan from PSG, the 27-year-old has been a key starter, pulling off some impressive displays and gaining recognition. In this Fulham side, the keeper needs to be on his wits at all times. He has, however, managed to keep just one league clean sheet, not that he can be pinned down to being at fault for this though.

Fulham's odds of 33/1 to sign Dean Henderson seem to reflect the fact that they won't be in the market for a new goalkeeper.

At 15/2, Newcastle's odds to sign Henderson may be shorter than many would have predicted.

Karl Darlow is their current number one, and he's doing a fine job at that. He's made the second most saves in the league itself this season, with the Toon sitting rather comfortably in 12th position.

The Englishman could secretly be hoping for a place in England's squad next summer, should Jordan Pickford's woes continue.

He's a reliable figure in-between the sticks, and not many will be expecting Steve Bruce to be looking for change in positioning half-way through the season. Given Darlow's form, it's a surprise to see Newcastle be made the third favourite's for Henderson's signature.

Paddy Power have given Leeds United odds of 11/1 to sign Henderson, but they themselves look to have a top prospect in their hands in this department. Illan Meslier has received plaudits for his performances this season and at just 20-years-of-age, looks to have a bright future ahead of him.

Crystal Palace are next in line at 14/1, but Vicente Guaita remains a solid outfit for the Eagles. The Spaniard is an excellent shot-stopper and has been one of the club's biggest bargain deals in recent memory.

Southampton and Brighton also appear at 18/1 and 22/1, but like many teams on this list, already possess well-established figures. When analysing each club in the league, there aren't many weaknesses in the goalkeeping department. Barring any injuries, the best bet seems to lie with Henderson remaining at Old Trafford.
