Agent of Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has denied rumors that Frenchman is going to play for Barcelona next season.

According to Jeff Weston,

No such meeting took place. That is absolute rubbish. There’s never been any question of him not being at Arsenal next season. It is all just media speculation, as it was last year, and the year before.

It is worthwhile pointing that Arsenal has a disappointing last season and any hope of resurrection in the upcoming season received a severe blow when it is reported in the media that star striker Thierry Henry is interested in moving to Spanish club Barcelona for £17million - according to the report published in Daily mail.

Though Henry has always said that he wants to finish his playing career at Arsenal, but the kind of offer he is getting from Spanish Giant has lured Henry as well as Arsenal to rethink. It was speculated that Henry would get £140,000 a week - almost double the amount he is getting at the moment.

Henry had a troubled last season with wide array of injuries and with Arsenal struggling to compete against the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, Henry is not happy with the present scenario.
