3 Arsenal Players that Thierry Henry could take to Monaco

Thierry Henry landed a huge opportunity when he signed on as the manager of Monaco this month. Despite the team's current struggles, they remain one of the biggest team's in France and they are currently involved in the UEFA Champions League.

The team, however, is known for selling on it's best players and replacing them with younger player's that cost a fraction of the price. It is likely that the 41-year-old will have to nurture young players just like Arsene Wenger did at Arsenal, and the former France strikers contacts with his old club make potential deals possible. Here we will look at the three players that could make the move from the Gunners and join Thierry's new team.

#3 Eddie Nketiah

Nketiah enjoyed a stunning debut for Arsenal when he scored two goals against Norwich City

This young forward made his breakthrough at Arsenal last season when he scored two late goals in a League Cup fourth round tie against Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium. It took him just 15 seconds to score, and he was immediately tipped for big things by a number of fans. Throughout the rest of the season Wenger continued to call upon the youngster in the cup competitions, however, he has struggled to feature under new manager Unai Emery.

Thierry Henry has previously stated that the 19-year-old will be a future star, admiring the youngster's ability to naturally score goals. The Arsenal forward would likely jump at the opportunity to work with one of his heroes, so either a permanent or loan move may soon be on the cards if Emery deems the youngster surplus to requirements.

#2 David Ospina

Ospina spent 6 years in France before his move to Arsenal

David Ospina has enjoyed a stunning start to life in Italy, however, his side already has three experienced goalkeepers, and many see his move as a quick fix. Ospina proved himself as a reliable performer during his time at Arsenal and if Napoli fails to sign him after his loan spell, the Colombian will be looking for a new club.

Thierry Henry has already witnessed high profile errors from goalkeeper Seydou Sy, whereas long-time number one Danijel Subašić may look to join a bigger team after his terrific World Cup. Ospina has already spent a long period of his career in France with Nice, and Henry may also be attracted by his ability to play the ball out from the back. Being available for such a low price will make the 30-year-old an attractive proposition for Monaco next summer.

#1 Laurent Koscielny

After struggling during his debut season, Laurent Koscielny improved to become Arsenal's best defender of the last decade. The 33-year-old is currently the club's captain, but it remains to be seen if he will regain his first-team place after his lengthy injury.

Henry and Koscielny are compatriots, even playing alongside each other during Thierry Henry's brief return to Arsenal in 2012. If the centre-back is unable to force himself into Emery's plans, he may look to return home to France next summer. Monaco would provide the former France international with one final challenge, and the chance to play under a manager he has a great relationship with.
