Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is attracting the interest of French giants Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco according to reports in France as uncertainty continues to surround the striker's future in New York.

The 37-year-old, who has been at New York Red Bulls since 2010, will be out of contract with the MLS side at the end of the year and could be open to a move back to Europe in January.

Speculation has been rife that Henry is set to retire but the former Gunner could also return for a third spell at Arsenal.

Le10 Sport claims Henry could be pursued by the Ligue 1 giants and could return to his first club, Monaco.

New York's global head of football, former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier, has fuelled the speculation of a move to Ligue 1 by stating Henry could still play at the top level in France.

'If he has the level to play in Ligue 1? Yes, no problem,' Houllier told Le10 Sport.

'So far no decision has been made, either in one direction or the other. Thierry has not decided to end his career,' added Houllier.

'We would love to keep it but it will also depend on him. Besides Thierry is in shape, it gives the impression of not growing old because he scores goal on goal.

'If there is another strategy that is to start with another squad, younger as the team gains a bit of experience, I think that Thierry could be part of this adventure.
