Henderson going nowhere

Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson has no intention of leaving the club during the summer. The 20-year-old's blossoming reputation, fuelled by a first senior England cap, has alerted potential suitors to his talent with Manchester United rumoured to be among those monitoring his situation. However, amid speculation that a deal has already been done - something manager Steve Bruce has dismissed - Henderson has expressed his desire to remain with his home-town club. "I do feel I have improved this season. I'm a better player than I was 12 months ago," he told the Journal. "It has been another great season for me. I have had some ups and downs along the way, but it's all part of my development. I have coped okay with the second season thing. "I'm improving every day, that is what I'm aiming to do. I'm enjoying myself at Sunderland, I'm not looking to leave. "I'm playing every week in the Premier League and that's all I have ever dreamed of doing. I'm young and I'm playing for Sunderland. It's something I love doing. I just want to keep doing that, keep improving, keep getting better as a player."
