Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has admitted that Thierry Henry would find it difficult to turn down Barcelona.
Gunners captain Henry has been linked once again with the Spanish giants after rejecting their overtures last summer.
Serie A side AC Milan have also confirmed their interest in the 29-year-old but it is Barcelona who Henry's team-mate Fabregas feels will pose the biggest test to the Frenchman's loyalty to Arsenal.
"I think that it's difficult to say no to Barca," Fabregas told Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo.
"I know Henry likes Barca, the problem is he loves Arsenal a lot for what the club have given him and the experience he has had at the club.
"Barca are one of the best clubs in the world, if not the best, and Henry is a great player. Barca always have the best players in the world."
Henry was expected to leave north London at the end of last season but decided at the final moment to sign on with the Gunners for another four years.
But after an injury-hit season personally and another campaign without a trophy for the team, Henry may have his head turned by further attempts to prize him away from the Emirates Stadium.
