Ludovic Giuly has revealed Arsenal captain Thierry Henry already had identified a house in Barcelona before he committed to a new Gunners deal at the end of last season.

Barca midfielder Giuly, a good pal of Henry's, said: "I was very surprised. Everything was ready for his arrival. He had chosen his home in Barcelona, the contract was prepared and he spoke a lot with Txiki (Begiristain) and the president.
"I don't know what happened, he changed his opinion from one day to the next, but it is necessary to understand his situation, mainly after losing the Champions League final.
"Thierry is the king of Arsenal and people adore him in London. It is his problem.
"I mean his decision. Not his problem, his decision."
