Henry back in Gunner Red?

Thierry Henry has not even been away a year, but it seems as though clubs are starting to form an orderly queue to bring the French star back to the league.

Newcastle United have been the first to blink with multiple reports linking them to the 30 year-old front man. With attacking manager Kevin Keegan back at the helm, the Toon Army are looking forward to a season of free-flowing football next term and with Henry possibly joining Michael Owen, it would be one of the best pairings on paper in all of World Football.

However the flamboyant Frenchman has told BBC's Football Focus programme that he is happy in Spain and would only consider a move back to Arsenal should he return to the Premiership. Reports though are strong that he is seriously looking at leaving the Catalan giants and if he wanted to sign for Arsenal, there might just be a spot for him.

As part of the summer merry-go-round, Emmanuel Adebayor is being heavily linked with a move to Inter Milan or Juventus. The Togo front man has flattered to deceive on more than one occasion this season and coach Wenger may be willing to cash in and bring in fresh blood up front.

The first question is whether or not Arsene would welcome him back. They did leave on good terms but in the absence of Henry, players like Cesc Fabregas have stepped up and taken on the mantle of the leader. Several players have said that they felt more freedom to express themselves on the pitch since their former captain has left them.

One other big name striker has been linked with a move to the Emirates over the summer, David Villa. The Spanish international looks set for a move away from Valencia and has publicly stated that it would “be a dream” to play for Arsenal. Coach Wenger has already quashed rumours that the club are well down the road to signing Villa, but chose his words carefully as to not rule out any possible future move for the 26 year-old.

Arsenal need to make serious inroads next season and show themselves to be one of the best yet again. Otherwise changes might rapidly happen at the Emirates.

So Henry back in north London pulling on the Gunners shirt again? You wouldn't bet against it...
