The former Arsenal striker left New York Red Bulls at the end of the MLS season and he will now take up a position at Sky Sports as a pundit.


The French forward joins Sky's already strong line-up of analysts including Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp.

Henry will be remembered as one of the best strikers the Premier League has ever seen after what he achieved at Arsenal.

Having moved to north London from Juventus in 1999, the Frenchman spent eight years as a Gunner and became a legend at the club.

Henry is the highest scorer in Arsenal's history with 228 goals in all competitions, 175 of those coming in the Premier League.

He helped Arsene Wenger's side win the Premier League and FA Cup double in 2002 and was also part of the invincible title-winning team of 2004.
