London, Dec 30 (IANS) Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed Friday New York Bulls striker Thierry Henry will make an emotional return to the club he left in 2007 on a two-month deal.
Arsenal, who are facing a crisis in the forwards department with Ivorian Gervinho and Morrocan Marouane Chamakh leaving for the African Cup of Nations, are awaiting the insurance agreements to be sorted to make an final announcement.
‘For two months it certainly will happen. I don’t take care of the agreement and the insurance that is not completed,’ Wenger was quoted as saying by the Sun.
‘At the moment we cannot announce anything because all the paperwork is not done.
‘To cover for two months is ideal. He has the experience and the quality. He knows the club and can help the players on and off the pitch. He has exceptional talent and is a very intelligent man, it can only be positive.’
The Frenchman has been training with Wenger’s men during the MLS off-season and is not required to return to the United States until March.
