Henry hints at Arsenal exit

Manchester - Arsenal striker Thierry Henry suggested Friday he could be considering a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

Barcelona and AC Milan are known to be keen on signing the 29- year-old, and he admits he finds their interest flattering.

But it is his concern about behind the scenes activity at Arsenal that is most revealing, particularly since vice-chairman David Dein left the club in the wake of reports about a possible takeover.

'The bosses have been unsettled and a lot of players at the club have been unsettled,' Henry said.

'I was devastated when Mr Dein left the club. I don't know what happened and I don't want to know but whatever went on, Mr Dein leaving was not a clever move.

'Although no one is bigger than the club, (manager) Arsene Wenger and Mr Dein are really close to being Arsenal. So if you ask me if there was one person on the board I would not like to see leaving, I would have said Mr Dein,' he said.

'Unfortunately it is out of my hands. I don't agree with what has happened but sometimes that's the way things are. We just have to move on. As I have said many times, at the moment I am an Arsenal player. But everyone knows that a lot of stuff has happened at the club recently that wasn't supposed to happen,' he added.

'So the only thing I can tell you is right now I am an Arsenal player but I cannot deny it's nice to hear about Milan.'
