Thierry Henry has hinted broadly that he would love to link up with striker Emmanuel Adebayor next season.
Wanted man: Adebayor is admired by Henry
France striker Henry, the Gunners' leading scorer of all time, endured a difficult first season at Barcelona and Adebayor looks like he could join him at the Nou Camp.
Henry, a self-proclaimed 'Arsenal fan' fell short of telling Adebayor to quit the Emirates, and instead told the Guardian: 'Adebayor had an amazing last season. When you have a season like that a lot of teams will want to get you.
'It is up to him. He knows his mind. I can't talk for him and I don't know what his choice will be, but that's what happens to you when you have a great year.'
Henry cannot wait to play with another ex-Arsenal star - Alexander Hleb - who moved to Barça last week for £11.9m.
'Alexander is a versatile player,' said Henry. 'He can play on the right, the left or behind the strikers. He can change the course of a game in a split second. He has great vision and technique.
'I better stop now because you will think I am talking about Pele, but he has a lot of qualities and hopefully he will be a great player for us.'
