Wenger tight-lipped on Henry’s return

Henry (34), the Gunners’ all-time leading goalscorer, who recently had a statue built outside Emirates Stadium in his honour, does not have to return to the New York Red Bulls until March.
But Wenger said: “There is no story and if we sign anybody we will inform you. I am 15 years in England. I have never told before I sign somebody the name of who I will sign.”
Last week, Wenger said there was “no chance” of him signing Bolton’s Gary Cahill.
But with Arsenal set to lose strikers Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh in January when they go to the Africa Cup of Nations, Wenger may feel that Robin van Persie needs some support.
Before Christmas, it had been suggested the north London club were considering asking the Red Bulls whether they could sign Henry on a two-month loan deal until the start of the new Major League Soccer season.
Henry has been training with the squad in order to retain his fitness.
But Wenger said: “Nothing has happened since last week. I expect nothing at the moment.”
Against Wolves, Arsenal could have done with some of the clinical finishing Henry displayed during his eight years at the club, during which he scored 226 times in 370 appearances before moving to Barcelona.
After taking the lead through Gervinho early on, the visitors levelled just before the break when Steven Fletcher diverted Stephen Hunt’s shot past Wojciech Szczesny.
But the Polish keeper’s opposite number Wayne Hennessey put in a superb display to deny the Gunners three points and a place in the top four. – BBC Sport.
