Hartson hoping Arsenal can tempt back Henry

Former Arsenal striker John Hartson would welcome the return to the club of Thierry Henry.

The former France international announced his departure from New York Red Bulls on Monday after four-and-a-half years with the Major League Soccer club.

"Thierry is an inspirational figure who would be a role model for the younger players at the club," Hartson told the BBC.

"I think it would be a masterstroke if Arsene Wenger got him back.

"He is a legend at the club, their record goalscorer and has a wonderful relationship with Wenger."
