Arsene Wenger hails Thierry Henry return

Wenger praises Henry

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed his delight with Thierry Henry following his goalscoring return to action against Leeds United on Monday evening.

Henry scored the winner in a 1-0 victory over the Championship side in the FA Cup third round at the Emirates.

Wenger told Sky Sports News: "You could see straight away when he came on that he was a presence on the pitch and if we could find him he would be dangerous.

"He's sharp, strong physically and in the end he added a bit more than just score."

The former Barcelona forward recently signed a short-term loan deal at Arsenal from current club New York Red Bulls.
