Henry, 25, a Stg£10.5million signing from Juventus four years ago, has put pen to paper on a three-year extension according to The Sun.

He said: "I am delighted to pledge my future to this great club. I want to make it clear I am very happy to stay, which has always been the case. I will stay at Arsenal as long as they want to keep me.

"I had heard one or two stories about me so I thought this was the time to sign. This club is so important to me."
