Arsenal legend Henry lifts lid on succeeding Wenger

-

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has finally given his thoughts on media reports linking him with a return to the Emirates as the search for embattled Arsene Wenger's successor heats up.

The Telegraph earlier in March claimed Henry is Arsenal owner’s son Josh Kroenke’s choice to replace under-pressure Wenger who is widely expected to leave this summer despite rumors of a new two year deal offer from the club.Henry according to ArsenalFan TV on its Twitter handle said: "My name is quoted to succeed Wenger but its hard for me to talk about it. I have a lot of respect for everything the coach has done.

"Am I ready? I don’t know & nobody knows, but I also need to learn my job. Right now, I’m in learning mode"

The 39-year-old Henry who has been working as an assistant to Roberto Martinez has made it clear his dream role is to manage Arsenal one day.

Kroenke Jr is believed to have already picked Henry’s brains on his plans to move into management during discussions and if Arsenal need a new boss, the Frenchman will be on the list of applicants.

Henry has already coached youngsters at Arsenal during his studies for the A-license, and was offered the role as Under-18s manager - but he decided he could not do it in line with his television roles.

The Arsenal all-time leading scorer Henry is close to Josh, whose influence since being involved in the club from 2013 has increased. The Belgium assistant coach has been working as a pundit for Sky Sports, but is about to pass his Uefa Pro License coaching badge in time for the start of next season.

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open for this position the
