Jul 23, 2009 5:44:14 PM
Still an Arsenal legend, despite currently playing for Barcelona, Thierry Henry has encouraged the Gunners to hold onto their captain, Cesc Fabregas.
"It is vital," Henry said in a press conference today.
"He's the Arsenal captain, he's young, and I am sure he wants to give something back to the club. Knowing Cesc, that's really important."
Despite Barca being at the top of the list of names linked to the midfielder, Henry made it very clear that it is not yet the time for the 22-year-old to join the current European champions.
Having enjoyed a terrific eight years with the London-based club, the Frenchman concluded with a statement from the heart, stating that Arsenal should keep their heads up and focus on finishing first in the English top-tier.
"My feeling for Arsenal is that I don't talk about being in the top four, I talk about winning the league," he said.
