HENRY 'TO JOIN' BARCELONA
-
The Spanish media has reported that Thierry Henry has signed a four-year deal with Barcelona.
Reports in Spain have emerged suggesting the Arsenal striker has signed a four-year deal with Barcelona.
Cadena Ser radio, the station that broke the news of David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane's moves to Real Madrid, declared that Barcelona would pay €24million (£16million) for the Arsenal forward.
The station, which quotes Barcelona officials, said Henry had put pen-to-paper on a contract spanning until 2011.
Spanish newspapers have also reported the story, but a spokesman from Barcelona has told Sky Sports News that the deal is not yet finalised.
The spokesman claims Henry's move is 'not totally done and dusted' and has insisted that discussions are still ongoing between Arsene Wenger and his Barcelona officials.
Barcelona have been tracking Henry for over 12 months, despite the Frenchman signing a long-term deal with The Gunners last summer.
The Catalan giants are looking to strengthen this summer after losing out to Real Madrid in the Spanish title race.
And after Arsenal's disappointing season in the Premiership it appears Henry has made the decision to continue his career at Camp Nou.
Speculation about his future has continued to mount in recent weeks, especially since the departure of David Dein.

Henry close to signing for Barcelona
Thierry Henry tonight appeared to be on the brink of leaving Arsenal for Barcelona.
Sources close to the Spanish club have declared a four-year deal has been signed for the France World Cup winner.
Henry, the most influential player in Arsenal's history, admitted the shock departure of vice-chairman David Dein last season had been unsettling for everyone at the club.
It now looks as if the brilliant forward is set to call time on his eight-year stay in north London.
Manager Arsene Wenger will have no doubt tried to convince his talisman to remain at the club, confident they could again compete for honours both at home and abroad. -

no reason for him to stay at arsenal.
they wont be challenging for the title anytime soon. -
never thought he would actually leave. but will eto stay? -
Walcott and Van Persie would be a great replacement, if they manage to sign Babel, they should be able to secure another Champions League spot. Hope Arsenal manages to sign Eto'o. Just praying daily
-
the challenge for the top 4 spots will be much tougher next season.
-
No Eto'o. But perhaps this means that Reyes might stay.
After all, there were rumours that he and Henry couldn't get along and that was one of the reasons why he suffered a dip in form, with the inability to adapt to London.
Either Babel, Owen or Anelka might sign.
I would like to see a Van Persie, Owen and Anelka strike force. Highly mobile. -
Unlikely Wenger will sign Owen.. Anelka maybe will.. But as for Owen, erm......
-
To be fair, i think its a good deal for Arsenal... Henry is already what... coming to 30? Last season he was really ineffective already so to get a "sum" for him is still pretty good business. The only thing i feel that it was a lost not to let him go last year rather than this... cos he was valued at around $30m last season rather than now... almost half the price lost...
