British tabloid The Sun has managed to obtained an exclusive open letter from Barca bound Thierry Henry on why he is quitting Arsenal for Barcelona.

In the letter, Henry mentions the decision of manager Arsene Wenger not keen on extending his contract upon the end of next season and the departure of David Dein as vice-chairman as key reasons for his move to the Nou Camp.

“Arsene Wenger has said that at this moment he will not commit to the club past the expiration of his current deal, which finishes at the end of this coming season.” Henry said

“I respect his decision and honesty but I will be 31 at the end of next season and I cannot take the chance to be there without Arsene Wenger and David Dein.”

“It’s now or never for me — sadly it has to be ‘Now’.” Henry added.
