THIERRY Henry is set to return to Arsenal in the summer after the club revealed the line-up for their Emirates Cup.

The Gunners’ all-time leading goalscorer will spearhead the New  York Red Bulls’ attack in the two-day pre-season tournament, which will be held on July 30 and 31.

French side Paris St Germain and Argentina’s Boca Juniors will also join Arsenal in the competition.

Henry, 33, left London for Barcelona in 2007 after scoring 226 goals for the Gunners in 338 games.

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis said: “I’m sure all Arsenal fans will be looking forward to welcoming back Thierry, a true Arsenal legend.”
