The French hitman has insisted that he is happy at the north Londoners, despite speculation over his future.

Eto'o has revealed his disappointed that Henry opted to stay at Arsenal last year when he had seemed certain to move to the Nou Camp.

And when asked whether he believes a deal could still be done, the three-times African Footballer of the Year replied: "I hope so, I really do. Obviously it is nothing to do with me, but I would be delighted if he came to play here.

"I don't know if we (Ronaldinho, Messi, Henry and Eto'o himself) could all play together. That is the coach's job. The coach decides who to sign and how the team will play. All I know is that I want the best players in my team and Henry is one of the best."
