Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry could be on his way back to the north London club for another spell on loan from New York Red Bulls in January, according to manager Arsene Wenger.
“He has been practising with us,” Wenger said on the club's website (www.arsenal.com) on Tuesday. “Will I sign him again in January? I don't know. I don't rule it out. He is sharp.”
Arsenal's 228-goal record scorer, now 35, returned to the club last January, netting against Leeds United in the FA Cup and grabbing a late winner at Sunderland in the Premier League.
“Last year I did it because we lost Gervinho. It was a good connection. This year we lose Gervinho again as they are playing in the Africa Cup of Nations two years in a row,” said Wenger whose team have suffered an indifferent start to the season.
