Arsene Wenger has handed a
boost to Arsenal fans by guaranteeing captain Thierry Henry will
not be sold this summer.
The fleet-footed forward has endured a torrid campaign with
injuries, but he is still one of the most feared strikers in Europe
and is Arsenal's most prized asset.
The Gunners fended off interest from Barcelona last summer, but
reports have claimed the Catalan giants will come back with a fresh
offer in the close season.
Wenger says talk of Henry leaving is 'imagination' and has vowed to
keep the 29-year-old at Emirates Stadium.
"It is more down to imagination than anything else, Thierry Henry
will be here next year," Wenger told the club's official
website.
Asked whether he could guarantee Henry would remain at the Emirates
next season, he added: "Yes, of course."
