Wenger: Henry has keen eye for talent

Thierry Henry has a special gift for spotting talent, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, the man who helped transform the France forward’s career.

The 37-year-old former Gunners’ striker is to return to England to take up a new role as a media pundit having left the New York Red Bulls after the MLS season finished.

Henry will also work on his coaching badges, which could well involve some sort of link up again with Arsenal, for whom he scored a club record 228 goals.
