Henry finally pledges his future to Arsenal
Thierry Henry has revealed his intention to finish his career at Arsenal after agreeing a new four-year deal with the club.
The 28-year-old Gunners captain, who was in the last year of his former deal, has announced his intention to remain with the north London club instead of moving to Barcelona, who were linked with signing the France international.
He will now lead the team into a new chapter in their illustrious history as they move into their 60,000-capacity Emirates Stadium for the start of next season.
'I've never played in Spain and I never will,' Henry said. 'I've played in France and Italy but this is the best country to play football and this is my last contract.
'I enjoy playing away or at home, getting stick. It's the passion I like. Here you can do your job in the right way - people here respect the player.'
Henry has claimed the spirit shown by his team-mates in Wednesday's Champions League final defeat against Barcelona in Paris had helped him decide to stay.
He also said vice-chairman David Dein and manager Arsene Wenger had played a huge role in persuading him not to leave, as well as the response from Gunners fans since his arrival in 1999.
He said: 'I think you all know, it's not a surprise but I'm staying here to play even longer for the club I love.
'It's been amazing since I joined, there had been so much speculation about me leaving - I won't lie, it crossed my mind. But I think with my heart and it told me to stay.'
Henry paid tribute to Dein and Wenger, telling a press conference televised live by Sky Sports News: 'Without them I wouldn't be talking to you. I just want to carry on writing the story of Arsenal with them.'
Henry carried Arsenal to the Champions League final, and the fans in Paris and during the campaign played a role in making him stay.
'In the past year the fans have been more than amazing,' he added.
'After the way we lost on Wednesday, I couldn't let them down. It was another thing to add and a positive thing to make me stay.
