Wenger hopeful of keeping Henry

Paris - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says
he remains hopeful of keeping talismanic striker Thierry Henry
at the London club next season.
"I cannot end the rumours. I've tried for a certain amount
of time without success," Wenger told France Football magazine
on Tuesday.
France striker Henry, Arsenal's all-time top scorer with 215
goals since joining the club in 1999, has been linked with a
move to Arsenal's Champions League final opponents Barcelona.
"Do not forget Thierry is under contract until 2007," added
Wenger. "I think the next two seasons will be his best. I hope
it will be Arsenal who will benefit from this. Maybe everybody
does not have this hope. I have it."
Henry, who scored a hat-trick to clinch fourth place in the
league for Arsenal on Sunday, has said he would decide his
future before the start of the World Cup finals on June 9.
