Thierry Henry appears to have ruled out a return to the Premier League.

The former Arsenal striker has not managed to find his best form since he joined Barcelona last year and he has been linked with Newcastle United and Manchester City.

"There is only one team for me in my heart" - Thierry Henry

He said: "There's only one team in England for me. Everybody knows the love and affection I have for Arsenal. I was so into it, I became a fan.

"There has been since I arrived here a lot of speculation from day one but, hey, 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."

Henry has only scored 14 goals in 40 games for Barcelona, but he has made it clear he will be happy to stay with the Catalan giants.

He said: "I'm happy here at Barcelona. I still have three years of my contract left with Barcelona. I don't regret stuff in my life. Stuff happens for a reason. You don't regret stuff that you thought about. I don't regret it."
