Wenger eager to get Henry signed soon

Arsenal 7 Middlesbrough 0

Henry confirmed on Saturday that negotiations were finally underway about a new deal and then celebrated with a glorious hat-trick in the 7-0 demolition of Middlesbrough.

The striker’s current deal expires next year and Arsenal will be even more determined to get their influential captain to commit himself after Saturday’s wonder show against Steve McClaren’s struggling Boro.
