Barcelona has stated that they will make no attempt to bring Arsenal striker Thierry Henry to Spain, despite admitting that they would love to have him in the side. ''I would like to have Henry,'' said Laporta. ''He is a wonderful player.

''But the squad is now closed save for an exceptional situation.

''The coaches believe we have a balanced team and we do not need more.''

Henry for his part has always said that he did not have any intention of leaving Arsenal despite being linked with bot Barcelona and Real Madrid in recent weeks.
