Henderson is thought to be on his way out of Ajax and both Sunderland and Rangers have been linked with the England international.
Dutch businessman Chris Woerts, who was on the board of Sunderland during Henderson’s time with the club, revealed on Dutch channel Vandaag Inside that the 34-year-old will return to the Stadium of Light this summer.
