Thierry Henry opens up on his mental health struggles after leaving Arsenal for Barcelona in 2007

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has opened up on the struggles he faced when he joined Spanish giants Barcelona back in 2007.

The former French international, who joined the Gunners in 1999, ended his eight year stay in north London to join Barca for £16million - much to the disappointment of the Arsenal faithful.

Henry scored a club record 228 goals for Arsenal and won two Premier League titles - including in the 2003-04 'Invincibles' season - and two FA Cups along the way.
