Henry: Vieira shouldn't join Spurs

Thierry Henry has denied that he told former Arsenal team mate Patrick Vieira to join Tottenham insisting that he would not advise anybody to join Spurs; firmly keeping his loyalties with the Gunners.

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.''
