The former Montreal Impact coach was quick to bounce back. In an interview on British television, the top scorer of the


Definitely, Thierry Henry and Arsenal, it's a never-ending love story.

The man with 51 goals in the blue tunic was branded with a hot iron by his eight years in the English capital.

Thus, two months after the announcement of his departure from the coaching position of the Impact Montreal, the former Monaco player has already embarked on a new project.

Monday Night guest

Football on Sky Sports this Monday evening, Thierry Henry said a little more about his new ambitions.

Solicited by the boss of Spotify, the Swedish billionaire, Daniel Ek, he agreed to join him with two former Arsenal glories, Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp.

"We want to bring the fans back on board, that they participate in the meetings, that they know what is going on because we need to recover the DNA of the club, its identity, which in my opinion is long gone. », Explains Henry.

A purchase offer of more than 2 billion euros

Obviously, the top scorer in Arsenal history with 228 goals knows that Ek's project is not won in advance.

“I think it's going to be long and not easy, if it ever happens,” Henry thinks.

One thing I want to repeat is that Daniel will not give up, he will wait and see if they want to sell.

"

Thierry Henry assures that the Swede has "extended a hand" to the American Stan Kroenke, the owner of the club.

A purchase offer could even be made before the end of the week around £ 1.8bn, or more than € 2bn.

“I know a lot of people have questions,” Henry continues.

But Daniel has been an Arsenal fan for a very long time, he didn't say that to advertise himself.

"

The ball is now in the court of Kroenke, who closed the door to any idea of ​​a sale at the end of April.

In a statement from the club, he said that “in recent days, we have noted speculation in the media regarding a possible takeover bid for Arsenal Football Club.

We remain 100% committed and do not sell any stakes in the club.

We have not received any offers and we will not accept any offers.

"

It remains to be seen what the supporters of the Gunners think of it, who have often called for the resignation of the American, who had also been involved in the disastrous Super League project, before apologizing and withdrawing from it.
