Gunners legend Henry will push Wenger for another loan spell at Arsenal
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has set his sights on a third spell at the Gunners.
The French striker has been told by the club he can keep in shape at their London Colney training base during the MLS off-season.

And Henry, aged 35, has not ruled out a second loan spell to help out Arsene Wenger's side.
He plans to hold talks with the manager when he reports for training in December.
Arsenal will lose lose Gervinho on Africa Cup of Nations duty in January for up to six weeks and doubt still surrounds the future of Theo Walcott.
The club's all-time record goalscorer had a fairytale seven-match return to Emirates Stadium at the start of the year, extending his Arsenal scoring record to 228 goals.
The striker returned to London last week after New York Red Bulls were beaten in the MLS play-offs to end their domestic campaign.
He was principally in the capital to spend time with his family but visited London Colney and was also at Emirates Stadium last Saturday to watch Arsenal beat Tottenham 5-2 in the north London derby.

The Frenchman now plans to go on holiday before coming back to London in December, where he is set to make full use of Arsenal's training facilities on his return to maintain his fitness.
The former France international capped an excellent season for New York Red Bulls, which yielded 15 goals in 29 games, by being one of the three players nominated for the MLS most valuable player of the year award. Graham Zusi of Sporting Kansas City and the San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski are the other nominees.
Speaking in the summer about the possibility of another stint at Arsenal, Henry said: 'I would like to go back to England with Arsenal for sure.
'I wasn't planning to go back to play last season. It was only because Gervinho and (Marouane) Chamakh went to the African Nations Cup.
'I was there to train and they asked me if I wanted to play. Who knows what might happen in the future? I've not yet spoken to Arsene about it so I don't know what capacity I could go back in.' |
