Gunners rejected record bids for Henry
Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein has revealed the club turned down two world-record bids of 50million for Thierry Henry.
The France striker signed a new four-year contract on Friday after months of speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona. Real Madrid were also reported to be interested in signing the star forward and Dein confirmed both offers came from Spain.
"We turned down world-record deals for Thierry from two Spanish clubs - and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to work who they were," he told the Sunday Express. "The two clubs in question don't like to be outbid by each other. They were ready to go for it."
