Former favourite Thierry Henry has delivered a blow to Arsenal by revealing he wants to see out his contract at Barcelona.
The Gunners legend only joined Barca last summer for £16million but revealed recently he was finding life in Spain difficult and was missing his daughter, who still lives with her mother in London.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger added fuel to the prospect of an imminent return recently by refusing to close the door on Henry but he has now spoken of his desire to stay in Catalan and see out his contract.
Henry, who has scored just nine La Liga goals in a trophyless campaign, confirmed to Le Parisien newspaper: "About my future, no, I do not want to leave."
The 31-year-old added: "I still have three years left on my contract here and I will still be here next year."
