Henry's a Gunner for life

12 April 2012

Thierry Henry insists he will remain at Arsenal for the rest of his career despite recent reports of a rift with manager Arsene Wenger.

Henry, Arsenal's captain, missed Saturday's clash against Tottenham on Saturday and admitted he was frustrated when he was ruled out of the derby at the training ground the day before.

"The club have the same ambitions as me," said Henry, who could be out injured for six weeks. "Regarding the recruitment in the summer, my confidence was not betrayed. I am at Arsenal for life. I will not go to Barcelona."

Henry admitted prior to the victory over Spurs that he was frustrated at missing the clash but he has again denied a bust-up with Wenger.

In an interview with French newspaper L'Equipe, he said: "Quite simply, it is true that I can be a pig! It is not a lie to say that. Sometimes, I feel that I am in the right even when I am wrong.

"But to claim that I wanted the power - no. To say that I wanted to play in a 4-5-1 - no. Everyone that knows me knows that I prefer to play alongside a team-mate (in attack)."
