Arsenal senior players believe Thierry Henry needs to be added to manager Arsene Wenger's coaching staff.

Henry, the club's record scorer, has made a big ­impression as a coach for the Belgium national side which contains big names like Eden ­Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku.

“It's a no-brainer. Just seeing Thierry on the training pitch would set the pulses ­racing," a source close to one of the ­players told the Mirror.

“It's what many of them would like to see. But whether Arsene goes for it is another matter."

Josh Kroenke, son of major shareholder Stan, and a ­growing influence in the ­decision-making at the ­Emirates, is a big Henry fan, and would love the former France ace to be involved in any future ­management change.
