A report in France Football magazine suggested that Henry had agreed a deal with Barcelona - much to the chagrin of the player's agent Jerome Anderson, who has vowed to take legal action against the publication.

But Henry, who turns 30 in August, insisted: "Last season, people were announcing all over the place that I was leaving. Some people wrote that it would happen for sure but at the end of the day I stayed at Arsenal. It could be the same this year."

He added: "I've not taken any decision and my name is not up on any departures board. If something happens, I will tell everybody.

"Nothing is done. I repeat, nothing. At this moment, I am an Arsenal player and in the same situation as I was last year."

But despite rubbishing a report in France that a move to Barcelona has already been agreed between the Nou Camp giants and his agent, the talismanic Gunners' striker is refusing to fully commit himself to the club.

Anderson, who has represented Henry since he joined Arsenal via Juventus for around £9million in August 1999, was furious at the France Football report and has ordered legal action.

In a statement released to PA Sport, he said: "No meetings have ever taken place between Jerome Anderson and Barcelona in France or anywhere else."

And later he issued another edict which read: "Jerome Anderson, chairman and chief executive of the Sport Entertainment and Media Group Limited (SEM) has instructed law firm, Schillings, to take legal action against France Football over false allegations in the French newspaper that Jerome Anderson met and agreed the terms of a three-year contract with Barcelona Football Club for Thierry Henry.

"Thierry Henry, as it is widely known, is under contract with Arsenal."
