Bruce 'fights' for Hendo stay
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has vowed to fight to keep England new boy Jordan Henderson at the Stadium of Light.[LNB] Henderson is set to be handed his Three Lions debut against France on Wednesday night after catching the eye of Fabio Capello.[LNB]The 20-year-old is regarded as one of the best young players in the country and the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been linked with a move for Henderson.[LNB]Bruce accepts he faces a battle to ward off interest in the youngster, but he insists he will not be sold for anything less than £25million if they were to consider offers for the player.[LNB]"It is wonderful that Jordan is playing for England - he deserves it," Bruce told the Daily Express. "Make no mistake - he is that good.[LNB]"Everything about him is right. He is full of endeavour, young, hungry and the archetypal modern-day footballer - 6ft 2in and yet a marvellous athlete. He is also a level-headed kid, which makes him a pleasure to work with.[LNB]"Put all these qualities together and he is courted by all the top clubs. [LNB]"It is my problem and, now he is also playing for England, it is going to be so hard to keep him at Sunderland, but I will try. It will be a fight, though.[LNB]"Why would you want to sell him for anything less than £25million?"
