Thierry Henry: 'Arsene Wenger could not walk away from Arsenal'

Thierry Henry believes that it was inevitable Arsene Wenger would eventually extend his Arsenal deal.

Thierry Henry has claimed that it was inevitable Arsene Wenger was going to sign a contract extension with the club.

A new three-year deal was confirmed by the club last week following months of speculation, and Henry believes that Wenger would have found it difficult to walk away from the Emirates Stadium after winning the FA Cup to end a nine-year trophy drought.

"Knowing Arsene, I knew he was going to stay, especially after winning the FA Cup final," the former Gunners striker is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"He loves the club so much that I think it is always going to be difficult for him to leave this club, he signed another three years and hopefully they can be successful.

"You only miss people when they have gone and then you will probably realise what he has done for the club."

Wenger will have been at Arsenal for 21 years when his contract expires in 2017.
