Henry to sign new Highbury deal!!

Thierry Henry is set to end months of speculation over his future by signing a new contract at Arsenal, inspired by their Champions League final display.

Henry, whose contract runs out next year, had been linked with a move to Champions League winners Barcelona.

"I hope to stay as long as I can keep running. I couldn't leave the fans. They're like family," he told The Sun.

"I love Barcelona, but on Wednesday Arsenal showed they had heart. I hope to finalise details today."

Gunners captain Henry, 28, joined from Juventus in August 1999 and has gone on to become the club's record goalscorer.

He was recently voted Football Writers' Association player of the year for the third time, and in his acceptance speech, he said that he now considered London his home.

On the flight back from Arsenal's Champions League final defeat in Paris, he is reported to have told passengers "we will come back next year."

If he does pledge his future to Arsenal, it will be a huge boost to the club ahead of their move to their new Emirates Stadium next season.

It will also help cushion the loss of striker Dennis Bergkamp, who is retiring after 11 years' service to the club.

This can only be good for Arsenal and its fans, someone was saying on talksport on wednesday that he was telling the player with the kid on his head after the game.

Guy With kid on head: So then are you coming?
Henry : No

I had a feeling he'd stay after his post match comments on wednesday.....and to be honest this is great news for The Premiership and our country cos the man is a ledge and loved by all fans i think.

But i hope they rest him if we end up playing them next year....last time we were up against him he scored 4!

As a Spurs fan I'm obviously not keen on his decision

but it keeps the Premiership the best league in the world.



Henry, Rooney, Ballack, Gerrard maybe Shevchenko. Should be amazing to watch.


Oh and Berbatov ;D ;D ;D
