Thierry Henry has officially rejoined Arsenal on a two-month loan deal from New York Red Bulls.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had been keen to add another forward to his squad with Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh heading to the African Nations Cup.
And Henry, who was training with the Gunners to keep sharp in the MLS off-season break, quickly appealed as the right option.
The striker could make his bow against Leeds United in the FA Cup on Monday, and is delighted to be back at the Emirates.
"When it comes to Arsenal my heart will always do the talking", admitted Henry.
The Frenchman left Arsenal in 2007 for Barcelona after a trophy-laden spell. His statue stands outside the Emirates Stadium.
