Samuel Eto'o has urged Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard to bring Thierry Henry to Camp Nou.
Speculation has been mounting about the Arsenal star's future, with several of Europe's top clubs being linked with the flamboyant Frenchman.
Whether or not Henry leaves Highbury could depend on The Gunners qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League, but Eto'o believes that he belongs at one of the world's greatest football clubs, namely Barcelona.
"About Thierry Henry, it is very simple," he told L'Equipe. "Barca is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and Thierry is one of the best players in the world, so his place is at Barca.
"All the great players have their place at the great clubs, so to me there is absolutely no doubt.
"The only problem is Rijkaard, he is the one who picks the team."
Eto'o insisted that he has a close relationship with Henry, and was eager to play alongside him before it is too late.
"Titi (Henry) is a friend, even before the Barcelona rumours started," he explained.
"Moreover we will soon stop football, as he is close to 30-years-old.
"We have other things to talk about besides football. I have never talked about Barca with him and I have no right to influence him."
The Cameroon international also confirmed that he would be staying at Barcelona for the foreseeable future.
"It is obvious that I will be at Barca in 2006-2007. I still have four years left on my contract," he declared.
"I play the football I love and am happy like that. Why should I complicate things?"
i hope he does go there so what if barca will be too good lets just hope we will never have to play them
allyuh realize henry nickname is titi right
