Arsene Wenger has 'guaranteed' Arsenal captain Thierry Henry
will not be sold this summer.
Recent reports have linked the France international, 29, with a
move to Barcelona during the close season.
Following a fallow season at the Emirates Stadium, during which a
Carling Cup final appearance was the closest the Gunners came to
silverware, it has been suggested that Henry might look elsewhere
in search of honours as he nears his 30th birthday.
The former Juventus hitman has not played since March due to
stomach and groin injuries, prompting fears he may have made his
last appearance in north London.
But Wenger has dismissed that suggestion and said: 'It is more down
to imagination than anything else, Thierry Henry will be here next
year.'
Asked whether he could guarantee to fans that Henry would remain at
the Emirates after the current campaign, he told the club's website
www.arsenal.com: 'Yes, of course.'
OBVIOUSLY!
