First Club
n 1990, Monaco sent scout Arnold Catalano to watch Henry, then at the age of 13 in a match.[6] Henry scored all six goals as his side won 6–0. Catalano asked him to join Monaco without even attending a trial first. Catalano requested that Henry complete a course at the elite Clairefontaine academy, and despite the director's reluctance to admit Henry due to his poor school results, he was allowed to complete the course and joined Arsène Wenger's Monaco as a youth player.[2] Subsequently, Henry s -
The Peak of His career
Entering the 2003–04 season, Arsenal were determined to reclaim the Premier League crown. Henry was again instrumental in Arsenal's exceptionally successful campaign; together with the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pirès, Henry ensured that the Gunners became the first team in more than a century to go through the entire domestic league season unbeaten, claiming the league title in the process.[20] Apart from being named for the second year running as the PFA Players' Playe -
Transfer to Barcelona
On 25 June 2007, in an unexpected turn of events, Henry was transferred to Barcelona for €24 million. He signed a four-year deal for a reported €6.8 (£4.6) million per season.[33] It was revealed that the contract included a release clause of €125 (£84.9) million.[34] Henry cited the departure of Dein and continued uncertainty over Wenger's future as reasons for leaving,[35][36] and maintained that "I always said that if I ever left Arsenal it would be to play for Barcelona."[37] Despite their c -
Welcome back
After training with Arsenal during the MLS off-season, Henry re-signed for the club on a two-month loan deal on 6 January 2012. This was to provide cover for Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh, who were unavailable due to their participation in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.[53] Henry made his second Arsenal debut as a substitute against Leeds United in the FA Cup third round and scored the only goal.[54] In his last league game on loan, he scored the winning goal in stoppage time in a 2–1 win again -
Trassfer to Juventus
enry left Monaco in January 1999, one year before his intimate and closest teammate David Trezeguet, and moved to Italian Serie A club Juventus for £10.5 million.[2] He played on the wing,[9] but he was ineffective against the Serie A defensive discipline in a position uncharacteristic for him, and scored just three goals in 16 appearances -
Transfer to Arsenal
Unsettled in Italy, Henry transferred from Juventus on 3 August 1999 to Arsenal for an estimated fee of £11 million, reuniting with his former manager Arsène Wenger.[11][12] It was at Arsenal that Henry made his name as a world-class footballer,[13] and although his transfer was not without controversy, Wenger was convinced he was worth the transfer fee.[3] Brought in as a replacement for fellow French forward Nicolas Anelka, Henry was immediately moulded into a striker by Wenger, a move that wo
