Thierry Henry urges Arsene Wenger to bring back ex-Arsenal star

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has urged Arsene Wenger to bring back one of the club's ex-players as he believes that will go a long way to boost the performance of the team.

Thierry Henry urges Arsene Wenger to bring back ex-Arsenal star
The Frenchman who is now a pundit at Sky Sports emphasized on the need for Arsenal to get a strong defensive midfielder who will protect the Gunners' back four, and he believes the right man for the job is ex-Arsenal midfielder Alex Song who left the Emirates Stadium for Barcelona in the summer of 2012. Song is currently on loan at West Ham United and has really impressed since joining them in August 2014.

“Song would improve Arsenal, That is the type of player you want in front of your back four” said Henry

“Song is the captain of the boat. He protects the back four. You need someone to dictate, put players into position, make little fouls by kicking someone – like Claude Makelele used to do.”

Thierry Henry has got a point here but some of the questions that still await answers are "will Wenger want to re-sign Song?", "will Alex Song want a return back to his old club?" and coupled with the fact that many Arsenal fans may not want him again after leaving them to suffer the pain he inflicted on them after leaving the Gunners back in 2012. What is your say on this?
