ARSENAL FANS MAY be about to receive a belated Christmas present, with news that manager Arsene Wenger could be set to re-sign Thierry Henry on a short-term deal in January.
The 34-year-old is considered an Arsenal legend, having scored 226 goals in 370 appearances for the club between 1999 and 2007, and a statue of the player was revealed outside the Emirates Stadium earlier this month.
And Wenger confirmed to reporters that he was interested acquiring the player on a two-month loan deal from New York Red Bulls, whose season doesn’t begin again until March. The Frenchman said:
“I have to think about [making an offer for Henry]. January 1 is the vital date for us. We have seven days to make decisions and I will make a decision in the next seven days on players.”
