Thierry Henry wants to eventually return to Arsenal to work with boss Arsene Wenger — even if he is just carrying the drinks for players.

Henry spent eight years at the club before joining Barcelona and still has an affinity to the Gunners after forging his reputation there.

“I'm trying to finish what I started nearly 15 years ago but we will see,” Henry said.

“I always said you go back to where you belong. I never stopped saying I love Arsenal and I will one day go back there. How? I don't know. Maybe a waterboy. Who knows. I just love the club and eventually one day I will go back for sure.”

Wenger this week has become Arsenal's longest-serving manager and Henry cannot see him leaving.

“I will be honest, I don't see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger,” he said.

“I couldn't see Arsenal leaving Highbury, but it happens.”

Henry paid tribute to Wenger's management, adding: “He is the guy that makes you realise you can do anything you want.

“It is a pleasure to play and train with him. He is a great human being on top of everything.”
