After four and a half years, Thierry Henry is opting to say au revoir to MLS.
The former French international, who won a World Cup with Les Bleus in 1998 and a Champions League trophy in 2009 with Barcelona, is widely regarded as one of the best players ever to don an Arsenal kit. Henry is currently the all-time top scorer for the Gunners and played a huge role in their historic 2003-2004 "Invincibles" campaign in which they finished the entire season without a single league defeat. It was during then that the now 37-year-old struck 30 times for Arsene Wenger's men in the league and an impressive 39 in all competitions.
Still, despite continuing to enjoy success in the USA with New York Red Bulls, Henry recently revealed his biggest regret, while reflecting on his spell with the team where he won two Eastern Conference titles.
"I have immensely enjoyed my four-and-a-half years here and would like to thank everyone involved with this club who has made my time here so enjoyable," he stated.
"I will now take the next few weeks to reflect and decide on the next chapter of my career."
He then went on to discuss his future in an interview with French publication L'Equipe, in which he did not rule out a third spell with Arsenal after returning for a short loan spell back in 2012.
"One thing is certain: I will stay in football, as a coach, a consultant or executive," he admitted.
And finally, his biggest wish?
"The second certainty is that I would love to see Arsenal win the Champions League. Whether that is from near or far does not depend on me, but I'd like to help. This is my club and, as a player, [I regret that] I was not able to give them the Champions League."
