Striker Thierry Henry has signed a new contract with Arsenal.

Striker Thierry Henry has signed a new contract with Arsenal.

The French striker has put pen to paper on a three-year extension that will keep him at Highbury until at least 2007, according to The Sun.

Henry, 25, was a £10.5million signing from Juventus four years ago.

He told The Sun: “I am delighted to pledge my future to this great club.

“I want to make it clear I am very happy to stay, which has always been the case. I will stay at Arsenal as long as they want to keep me.

“I had heard one or two stories about me so I thought this was the time to sign. This club is so important to me.”

His contract extension is a boost for Arsenal ahead of today’s FA Cup final against Southampton in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.

Henry, who has scored 112 times in 179 games for the Gunners, had one year left on his current contract.
