Henry can join Arsenal on short-term loan deal
Arsenal will lose their strikers Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho next month due to the Africa Cup of Nations tournament, and Wenger is planning to bring Arsenal legend Thierry Henry on a two month loan deal from MLS club Red Bull New York.
The Gunners boss has given hint about signing Henry on a two-month loan deal that could be a good supporting option for in-form striker Robin Van Persie.
Henry, who is Arsenal’s record all-time scorer with 226 goals for the club left for Barcelona in 2007 after spending eight years at the North London club. He is currently playing for Major League soccer club Red Bull New York.
“That’s why I have Christmas Day off – I have to think about that,” said Wenger.
“Short-term is ideal for us, but I haven’t made any enquiry yet. Thierry is not here at the moment. It has never come up in conversation!
“The first of January 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.”
