Thierry Henry has returned to Arsenal today in a bid to retain his fitness after completing his season with MLS side New York Red Bulls.
Henry made his name in the famous Red & White shirt becoming the clubs all-time record goal-scorer along the way, and has always stressed his love for the club is everlasting. The 34 year-old joined in a training session with the Gunners today and will stay for at least a week to work on his fitness.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will hope Henry’s vast knowledge will rub off on his young squad, and the manager was full of praise for his former striker:
“Thierry was in with our training today, and he does not need to show how good he is.
“He just wants to stay fit and enjoy the football club again, because he is at home here and it is always good to have him back.
“When you are not the day before the game, it is possible of course for him to practise with the first team.
“It is always a lift to see what a big player he still is.”
