{{Arsene Wenger may bring Thierry Henry back to Arsenal for a third spell.}}<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s all-time leading goal scorer has been training with the Gunners during the MLS off-season and Wenger said: \u2018Will I sign him in January? I don\u2019t rule it out. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know if he would be interested. He is sharp. He has practised with us three times.\u2019<\/p>\n
The New York Red Bulls striker, 35, scored twice during his seven-game loan spell last season, including a storybook winner against Leeds United in January in the FA Cup on his return to the club he served from 1999 to 2007.<\/p>\n
Henry is currently on holiday after returning to London to see his family and watch Arsenal\u2019s 5-2 victory over Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Wenger said he would make a decision in January but admitted it was a tempting prospect given Henry\u2019s qualities and the fact Arsenal will be \u2018short\u2019 of strikers in the new year owing to the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n
The Arsenal manager said: \u201cYou know what Thierry gives you: he gives you hope, especially when he comes on (as a substitute). That is the most important thing.<\/p>\n
He is a communicator, an extrovert and very intelligent. I had always resisted (bringing him back). Last year I did it because we lost Gervinho. <\/p>\n
This year we lose Gervinho again as they are playing the Africa Cup of Nations two years in a row. So we will be confronted with a shortage \u2013 particularly if (Marouane) Chamakh should go. Then we will be short.\u201d<\/p>\n
David Beckham, who will play his final game for LA Galaxy on December 1, has trained with Arsenal before but Wenger ruled out a move for the former England captain.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo sign Beckham, Thierry Henry and Sol Campbell?\u201d said the Arsenal boss. \u201cWe had a staff game today: they could have played with us!\u201d<\/p>\n
