Arsenal's Olivier Giroud: 'Playing with Thierry Henry would be a great joy'

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has said that he would relish playing alongside his French compatriot Thierry Henry.

The New York Red Bulls striker has been training with the Gunners during the MLS off-season, and manager Arsene Wenger has hinted that he could sign him on loan again.

"Henry misses the enthusiasm around the Premier League," the Daily Mail quotes Giroud as saying.

"But he didn't tell me if he will be back. It would be a great joy to play with him."

Henry played for Arsenal on loan from Red Bulls for six weeks last season.
