Henry told tabloid paper The Sun: "I am Arsenal through and through. I'd never advise anyone to sign for Tottenham. I can't have Arsenal fans thinking I am helping Tottenham in any way.



"The truth is I was talking to Spurs boss Harry Redknapp and he told me he was trying to sign Patrick from Inter Milan. I was very surprised because Patrick is like me. He loves Arsenal.



"I just said that Patrick would be a brilliant signing. But I also made it clear I would be shocked if it happened.''
