Wenger happy to have Henry working with Arsenal squad

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is happy to have former players like Thierry Henry training with his squad.

The presence of such inspirational former players can only have a positive impact on the current squad, who moved four points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League with victory over Southampton on Saturday.

Wenger said: "They have no real target to bring something, they just want to enjoy themselves and keep their fitness.

"Usually they don't practise with the first team, because they come in and work on fitness.

"It is a little bit less competitive, but when we have some room we invite them to play with us.

"They integrate well [with] the spirit of the team."
