Wenger wants Henry to stay with Arsenal until May

ARSENE WENGER wants Thierry Henry to ride to Arsenal’s rescue for the rest of the season. 

The Gunners have agreed a six-week return starting next month with Henry’s current club New York Red Bulls. 

But boss Wenger will sound out the chances of keeping him until May with Arsenal’s campaign in danger of falling apart. 

That would mean the French World Cup-winner missing around a third of the MLS season, which kicks-off in March — and is sure to meet resistance from the Americans. 

Henry, 35, has been a big hit with the Red Bulls, hitting 32 goals in 61 games since moving to the States in 2010. 

The Gunners’ all-time leading scorer, who bagged a staggering 226 goals in eight years up to his original 2007 departure, returned for seven games last season and spent three days last week training with the squad.

Emirates sources said he looked in better shape than last season and was open to the idea of spending the rest of the campaign back in the Premier League.
