Thierry Henry marked the final Premier League game of his second spell with Arsenal with the winning goal against Sunderland, and he has left the door ajar for a third stint with the Gunners.

The Frenchman will head back for pre-season training with New York Red Bulls following the Gunners' clash with AC Milan in the Champions League - as Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed they will respect the MLS side's wish to have Henry back in the fold on February 16.

It has been a fairytale return for Henry, who scored against Leeds in his first game back before bagging the injury-time winner against Sunderland.

He will be 35 next January, the next time he would be eligible to make a loan move, but would be prepared to answer any call from Arsenal.

"Always I say, it's kind of difficult for me to say no," he said. "If they need some help one day, I'll be around.

"It was so emotional. I knew when the final whistle blew that this was my last game in the Premier League, but I guess you can never say never.

"I never thought I was going to come back and play for Arsenal. Who knows if I can say that this was definitely the end, it could be different. Who knows? When it comes to Arsenal I am always emotional."
