Could Thierry Henry be back playing for Arsenal in the New Year?

As incredible as it sounds - it's possible that Thierry Henry might be back at Arsenal on loan for a couple of months via the January transfer window.

Henry, left Arsenal in 2007 for Barcelona before moving to the United States where he currently plays for the New York Bulls.

But Henry will not be required back in the United States until March and Arsenal will lose two strikers, Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh, for up to a month at the end of January due to the African Nations Cup.

This leaves Arsenal very short of experienced strikers, and with the 34-year-old Henry training with the Londoners since the close of the MLS season in November - an opportunity arises.

For that reason, Wenger is considering the possibility of a potential two-month loan deal for the star. "January 1 is the vital date for us. We have seven days to make decisions and I will make a decision in the next seven days on players."
