Wenger denies Henry heading for Barcelona

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger has strongly rejected reports from Spain that his captain Thierry Henry has agreed to join Barcelona next season.

The 28-year-old World Cup winner has declared his desire to remain in north London, but as yet no new contract has been formally agreed.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta is a keen admirer of Henry, although the club themselves have officially refuse to comment on the possibility of striker moving to the Nou Camp in what would likely be a world-record deal.
