Gunners to offer Henry record deal

ARSENAL chairman Peter Hill-Wood has indicated the club are ready to make Thierry Henry the highest paid player in their history.

Henry, currently sidelined with a groin injury, has made it clear he does not want to enter into discussions over his future until the end of the season, when he’ll have just 12 months to run on his current deal, which is reportedly worth £75,000 a week.

Spanish giants Barcelona are said to be interested in Henry, and could get him at a cut price if the striker does not agree a new contract.
