Arsenal great Thierry Henry has said he would not back down from a challenge if a vacancy arose to succeed Arsene Wenger as manager of the Gunners. Long-running speculation about Wenger's position at Arsenal intensified after the Gunners suffered a fourth successive defeat in all competitions, a 2-1 Premier League loss away to Brighton, on Sunday — a result that left them a huge 13 points adrift of the top four.

Former France forward Henry was asked on Sky Sports if he would take the Arsenal job should the opportunity arise. "Listen, I'm a competitor, you don't back down from a challenge," Henry replied.
"We are hypothetically speaking before people jump ahead of everything, (but) I have never backed down from a challenge since I was young. If I had listened to people who were talking about where I was going to be, I would not have been here."
