Per Mertesacker is looking forward to playing with Thierry Henry
Arsenal defender and German international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 is relishing the opportunity to play alongside Thierry Henry. The defender has been impressed by the legend based on his performances in the training session and believes the forward would
be welcomed by everyone at the club.
The Gunners have been reported to be looking to bring in some striking reinforcements in the January transfer window and with the duo of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gervinho-c14755 leaving for the African Cup of nations; the team is looking to bring in some sort of backup.
Not wanting to spend over the top in the transfer window, Arsene Wenger seems to have narrowed down his focus on Gunners Legend, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918. The striker is currently enjoying his off season from the MLS, but could be employed by Arsenal once again.
The team is looking to bring the player in on a two month loan deal, in hopes of having the appropriate backup for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, during the absence of their African forwards.
Nonetheless, it seems like Henry is still on par with the rest of the squad with his fitness and Mertesacker, who seems to be quite delighted with the rumours linking the player with a return to the Emirates is quoted to have said: “I am very happy training
with [Henry], very happy. He is playing very, very good. I am happy to play against him in training and it is a great experience.
“He is a great opportunity for us, but I'm not the manager, I couldn't find a decision or what is possible for him or for us.
“In training he shows his class and to have him with us is great because he shows his attitude, his experience. He still has the same attitude he showed in a lot of games at Arsenal.”
Based on speculation, it is going to be a wait for the next couple of days to see whether http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 go forth and make an offer to the striker or not. However, what can be said assuredly, is the fact that Arsenal will be bringing in a striker in the January
transfer window.
