Henry to return?

Thursday, 29/12/2011

Thierry Henry could be on the verge of an amazing comeback to Arsenal.

The legendary striker is thought to be set to sign on loan for the Gunners on January 1.

Boss Arsene Wenger has admitted: "The first of January is the vital date for us."

But he has refused to be drawn on whether the Frenchman will arrive on loan from New York Red Bulls.

The club's record goalscorer would be available providing Arsenal insure him against injury and pay his wages during the MLS shutdown.

It would be a similar deal to the one that took David Beckham from LA Galaxy to Milan a few years ago.

A statue of Henry was recently erected outside the Emirates Stadium, which the star unveiled himself.

Henry could arrive for two months as cover for Gervinho who will be leaving for the Africa Cup of Nations.
