Wenger remains hopeful of keeping Henry

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger remains hopeful of keeping talismanic striker Thierry Henry at the London club next season.

“I cannot end the rumours. I’ve tried for a certain amount of time without success,” Wenger told France Football magazine.

France striker Henry, Arsenal’s all-time top scorer with 215 goals since joining the club in 1999, has been linked with a move to Arsenal’s Champions League final opponents Barcelona.
