Thierry Henry [ Images ] would love to return to former club Arsenal [ Images ] in some capacity in the future, the Barcelona [ Images ] striker said on Wednesday.

"It does not matter what will happen with my new team, I'll never find the affection I was shown at Arsenal," Henry told Sky television (www.skylife.it).

"In part that's because I don't think my legs will let me play for another club for eight years.

"You always return to the place you belong to and so I hope one day to be able to work with that club. I have this club in my blood."

The 30-year-old said he had followed Arsenal's games since leaving for Spain in the close season.

"I'm proud to have played for Arsenal and to be a fan of theirs," he added. "Before I was not a fan of any club, but I have become an Arsenal fan and it's difficult for me to not watch their matches".

Henry also said that he left Juventus [ Images ] for the Premier League side in 1999 because of a fall-out with the Turin club's disgraced former general manager Luciano Moggi.

"Something happened with Moggi that I didn't like, I don't want to go into the details," he said

"I'm an honest lad and for me it was a disrespectful thing. I would probably have continued to play at Juventus. But after that lack of respect, I told them I didn't want to play there any more and I left".

Moggi, who has been banned from soccer for five years, was at the centre of the match-fixing scandal that led to Juventus' demotion to the second division last year. Juve won promotion back to the top flight last season.
