Henry considering his options - Vieira
Patrick Vieira has hinted Thierry Henry may quit Arsenal to “get the best for himself”.
Former Gunners midfielder Vieira, who now plays for recently-crowned Serie A champions Inter Milan, believes his France team-mate will look at other options this summer after a below-par season at the Emirates Stadium.
Henry has also had to deal with the departure of vice-president David Dein, a close ally of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
“Thierry is in the position where he is asking himself what he wants to do and I think it’s normal,” 30-year-old Vieira told PA Sport at a Ford ’Feel Football’ event in Milan.
“He has been at Arsenal a long time working with Dein and Wenger and he would consider his future if these two people who built the current Arsenal were to leave the club.
“I think Thierry will try to get the best for himself but if he was to stay it would be great for the club.”
Henry was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer but spurned the chance to leave North London and signed a new four-year contract.
The 29-year-old joined Arsenal for £10.5m from Juventus in August 1999 and has gone on to become the club’s record goalscorer.
