Tomas Rosicky believes keeping Thierry Henry is crucial
to Arsenal's future success.
Henry is once again the subject of a multi-million pound summer
move to Spain or Italy.
Barcelona have made no secret of their desire to tempt the France
striker to the Camp Nou, while European champions Milan have also
earmarked Henry as a man they are keen to sign.
But Arsenal midfielder Rosicky insists keeping Henry at Emirates
Stadium is crucial if his side are to compete with the likes of
Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool for the Premiership
title.
"Thierry is a big player for us. He is our captain and we need
him," Rosicky told the Daily Star.
"Of course it would be a blow if we lost him.
"I think we can challenge the top teams. We have shown that already
by beating them.
"But we have had problems against the smaller teams. I think it is
down to stuff we can work on."
