Thierry Henry tonight appeared to be on the brink of leaving Arsenal for Barcelona.
Sources close to the Spanish club have declared a four-year deal has been signed for the France World Cup winner.
Henry, the most influential player in Arsenal's history, admitted the shock departure of vice-chairman David Dein last season had been unsettling for everyone at the club.
It now looks as if the brilliant forward is set to call time on his eight-year stay in north London.
Manager Arsene Wenger will have no doubt tried to convince his talisman to remain at the club, confident they could again compete for honours both at home and abroad.
