Arsenal striker Thierry Henry admits he is enjoying life at Highbury so much at the moment that he would strongly consider signing up for life.

Henry has scored 28 goals for the Gunners so far this season as the club continue to chase glory on three fronts.

The France international, who was converted from a wide player to an out-and-out striker by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger with great success, told the Sunday Mirror: "I love life at Arsenal, there is no better place in the world at the moment.

"And if the board wanted me to sign away my life to the club, I'd probably do it at the moment.

"I'm only in my third season with Arsenal. But you get a feel for a place and a sense of belonging, and life couldn't be better."

Henry began a three-match ban yesterday by sitting out the FA Cup quarter-final clash with Newcastle, but feels he can still have a part to play in what is shaping up to be a great season for the Gunners.

"On the field the team beat like a single heart and though you don't want to tempt fate, there is no reason why this team cannot go on and win plenty of trophies.

"Off the field I enjoy privacy I never thought was possible as a professional footballer.

"In other countries you're treated like a possession and taken for granted. But in England the fans are adorable, especially the Arsenal fans.

"They don't give the team stick, they don't pick on individual players. They just want the best for their team and back them."
