The 34-year old, who now plays for New York Red Bulls, enjoyed a successful spell on loan at the Gunners in January last season during the MLS off-season.
The Frenchman is unsure if there will be a repeat of this next season, but revealed there could be a return to north London in the future as a coach.
"I don't know how, it depends," Henry was quoted as saying by The Telegraph. "Seriously, I don't know. I just want to finish my career [first]. I would go back to England, for sure, with Arsenal. Coaching does interest me but I really don't think about it right now.
"I don't plan to go back [again to play for Arsenal] and I didn't plan to go back and play last time.
"It was only because of the guys [strikers Gervinho and Marouanne Chamakh] went to the African Cup of Nations. They asked if I wanted to play, and that's it. I was there to train."
Henry also refused to discuss the future of former team-mate Robin van Persie as he looks set to leave the Emirates.
He added: "I've nothing to say about it. They have to deal with it and that's just the way it is...It's a hard one. I don't want to get involved into this kind of thing.
"It's a tricky one but obviously I don't know what's happening. It's difficult for me to talk about it."
Piss off. There is another ACON?
Yup.
Its so they can have it in the odd years and not have it with the World Cups in even years
songs likely to miss man city (h), chelsea (a), liverpool (h) next season due to african cup of nations.
we need to sign a dm.
****s should have waited til 2015 then.Quote:

Niall Quinn has told talkSPORT that Arsenal will not be held to ransom by Robin Van Persie as he postures for a move away from the club.
Manchester City, Man United and Juventus are all monitoring the striker's situation, with Sir Alex Ferguson admitting that the Red Devils have made a bid for him after the Dutchman released a statement earlier in the summer stating his intentions to leave the club.
The Gunners are still trying to tie the 28-year-old, in the last year of his current deal, to a new contract, but Quinn has warned Arsenal fans that the club's board will not countenance giving in to any exorbitant demands van Persie might have.
“When you go back to what is best for the club, those who are blinded by ‘sign him up no matter what it costs’ should just look at Portsmouth," he said.
“They did that. It wasn’t called mismanagement by the fans then. It was called ‘yes, we’ve won an FA Cup, isn’t it brilliant’.
“Arsenal won’t allow that to happen as a club and it is a difficult one for football loving people who come here and pay big money to see somebody like him go, if that’s what happens.
“But I would say, from having been in the unique position of being a player and trying to make these decisions at board level, if you put the club first generally you’ll come up with the right formula and I think Arsenal will do that.
“If van Persie falls into line with that and accepts that and understands his future here at the club, great. If he doesn’t then as a football fan you’ve got to say it wasn’t meant to be.
“I have great faith that Arsenal will do the right thing. I think he will be here [this season] and there will be loads of time for him to be worked on to fall back into the Arsenal way.
“He seems to have really enjoyed his football here and that has to count for something over taking a challenge but if money is involved and he has been secretly offered a huge amount of money – because that goes on in football – then it will be difficult to bring him back because Arsenal will need to blow their wage structure out the door.”

Unfortunately we dont have Rioch in charge to do thatQuote:
Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown believes Arsene Wenger needs to sign a "world star" to replace wantaway striker Robin van Persie.
The Dutchman recently expressed his intention not to sign a new contract and looks set to join the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri as the next high profile name to leave north London.
And Keown, who enjoyed a distinguished trophy-laden spell with the Gunners, hopes to see Van Persie's future sorted as soon as possible to avoid speculation damaging the club's chances for the new season.
Keown told talkSPORT: “At least Van Persie has come out early and declared that he wants to leave.
"Last year when it was Nasri and Fabregas it impacted so much on the group that when they were seven games in it was like a relegation fight.
“And I think this round this won’t happen if van Persie goes. I think the squad is stronger both mentally and in quality."
The former England stopper also believes that Wenger must look to sign a player of similar calibre to Gunners legend Dennis Bergkamp in order to move forward.
Keown added: “We’re almost kind of getting used to losing top players now, it’s just a shame that so many are going.
"If we look back to Dennis Bergkamp coming to the club, when he came to the club, it was kind of like ‘Christ!’ That was a real wake-up call - he came in, everyone took note, Arsenal’s going in a different direction.
“Arsenal could almost do with one of those world stars coming in again."
