Arsene Wenger considers re-signing Thierry Henry for Arsenal
This would be epic.
Arsene Wenger is considering re-signing Thierry Henry for Arsenal on a two-month loan deal.
Henry, who is the Gunners' record goalscorer, has been training with the club since the end of the MLS season.
He is not due back at New York Red Bulls until March - and the timing could tempt Wenger because strikers Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh will soon be at the African Nations Cup.
"Short term is ideal, but I haven't made any enquiry yet," Wenger said.
The Frenchman, 34, scored 226 goals in 370 games between 1999 and 2007.
His time at the north London club coincided with one of the most successful periods in Arsenal's history; he won two league titles and three FA Cups before leaving for Barcelona.
Henry's legendary status at Arsenal was recently recognised during the club's 125th anniversary celebrations when a statue of him was unveiled outside the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger said: "I have to think about [making an offer for Henry].
"January 1 is the vital date for us. We have seven days to make decisions and I will make a decision in the next seven days on players."
The African Nations Cup, which lasts a month, starts at the end of January.
