  BARCELONA president Joan Laporta last night claimed the Spanish giants have agreed a deal to sign Thierry Henry this summer.
  
  Laporta let slip his bold claim while giving a speech in America at the Stanford University as he said: "I'm closing the signing of Henry."
  
  And it was also claimed on Radio Catalunya that Laporta said an initial agreement had been reached with Arsenal for the striker and now it was down to personal terms.
  
  Henry has endured a frustrating season at the Emirates due to injury.
  
  The 29-year-old Frenchman has also clashed with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger over his fitness.
  
  Meanwhile, Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski yesterday completed his £3million move to Arsenal from Legia Warsaw.

  Barca would be an unstoppable force should Henry decides to join them. However, i think Barca should work on their defence instead of adding on firepower. It reminds me of Real Madrid in the early 2000s. Strong attack, weak defence.
  
  Cheers.

  Henry will stay at Arsenal, insists Wenger
  
  Arsene Wenger has 'guaranteed' Arsenal captain Thierry Henry will not be sold this summer.
  
  Recent reports have linked the France international, 29, with a move to Barcelona during the close season.
  
  Following a fallow season at the Emirates Stadium, during which a Carling Cup final appearance was the closest the Gunners came to silverware, it has been suggested that Henry might look elsewhere in search of honours as he nears his 30th birthday.
  
  The former Juventus hitman has not played since March due to stomach and groin injuries, prompting fears he may have made his last appearance in north London.
  
  But Wenger has dismissed that suggestion and said: 'It is more down to imagination than anything else, Thierry Henry will be here next year.'
  
  Asked whether he could guarantee to fans that Henry would remain at the Emirates after the current campaign, he told the club's website www.arsenal.com: 'Yes, of course.'
