Henry cools Barca exit talk

French striker Thierry Henry has insisted that he is happy with Barcelona and would only return to England to rejoin former club, Arsenal.
The 30-year-old has scored ten goals in 34 appearances for Barca this season, having left the Gunners after eight years of unrivalled success with the north London club.
Reports had suggested that Henry was seeking a return to the Premier League, while Newcastle United have also been credited with an interest in the France ace.
However, Henry says he doesn't expect to be going anywhere in the near future.
He told the BBC's Football Focus: "I'm happy, I don't regret leaving Arsenal.
"People who know me will tell you, I'm the same in training, I'm the same in life, I cannot act. If I'm not happy, I'm not happy.
"I'm happy here at Barcelona. I still have three years of my contract left with Barcelona.
"There has been since I arrived here a lot of speculation from day one, but to go back where?
"There's only one team for me in my heart. It took me a while to understand what that club, Arsenal, meant.
"But everybody knows the love and affection I have for Arsenal."
