BT Sport are considering a bid to try to poach Thierry Henry from Sky as they face up to the prospect of losing two of their big name pundits.

Steven Gerrard has already taken his first managerial job in Scotland at Rangers and Frank Lampard is now expected to be appointed by Derby County.

That leaves a huge hole for BT to fill and company executives are aware there may be a window of opportunity to take Henry.

The former Arsenal striker is about to enter the final 12 months of his £4million-a-year Sky contract, although there is an option for a further two years at a set rate.

Talks are yet to begin over what the future holds for Henry at Sky, and BT could offer him the chance to make a lucrative switch.

Other than his punditry, which has improved since his initial appointment in 2015, Henry has been able to pull in some high-profile exclusive interviews for Sky.

His links within the game have also helped the station behind the scenes and his knowledge of the Belgian players, from his role as an assistant to Roberto Martinez, is a huge plus.

Henry will be part of Martinez’s staff on the Belgium national side at the World Cup in Russia, with any decision on his coaching future to be taken after the tournament.
