FC Barcelona´s striker Samuel Eto'o expressed to the French football magazine L’Equipe that he would be absolutely delighted if Arsenal captain Thierry Henry would join Barca. Spanish La Liga´s leading goalscorer Eto'o would enjoy great pleasure in playing alongside the France international Henry and believes Arsenal striker Thierry Henry should make a move to the Nou Camp this summer because this is the place where he belongs: "It's very simple - Barca are one of the biggest clubs in the world and Thierry is one of the best strikers in the world. His place is at Barca. All the great players should play for great clubs. For me, there is not the slightest doubt. The only problem is Rijkaard - it's him who makes the team."


Barca star Eto'o also revealed that he and Henry often talk on the phone and that the pair are good friends but admitted he has not been urging his friend to leave Arsenal and move to Barcelona in Spain. Asked about the transfer rumours and speculation´s about Henry joining FC Barcelona, he responded: "We don't speak about it ever. What right have I got to influence him? Titi is a friend. It's not Barcelona that's brought us together. And besides, one doesn't play football forever. There is life outside football. There are other things we do together".


Henry´s contract at Arsenal expires in 2007. The Arsenal icon has been continously linked with a transfer to FC Barcelona at the end of this season and a move to Barca would be hard to turn down. Henry's future at Arsenal seems to depend on whether the Gunners qualify for the Champions League next season. Arsenal London are out of the Champions League positions in the Premiership at the moment and currently it looks like arch-rivals Tottenham Hotpurs having better chances to claim the fourth and final Champions League place.
