Barcelona defender Gio van Bronckhorst says he would love to see Arsenal striker Thierry Henry at the Nou Camp.
The former Highbury team-mates will face each other in the Champions League final in Paris on 17 May - and Henry has yet to sign a new Gunners deal.
"There has been a lot of speculation about Henry coming to Barca and he is very popular," said Van Bronckhorst.
"He is a great player and I would love him to come here as you always want the best players in your team."
Henry is due to make an announcement over his future before this summer's World Cup finals.
Meanwhile, Van Bronckhorst is looking forward to facing his old club in European football's showpiece final.
"It is going to be a great game and a special one for me," added the Dutchman.
"We can't start dreaming of the final now, we have a massive game against Sunderland" ~ Thierry Henry
"I still have some friends at Highbury, especially Freddie Ljungberg, so it will be nice to meet up with them again.
"It will also be good to have a match between two sides who like playing open football."
Meanwhile, Henry says Arsenal have not given up on finishing fourth in the Premiership, even though they are four points behind Tottenham.
If Arsenal lose the final to Barca and finish fifth they will not be in next year's Champions League - and Henry says they cannot allow that to happen.
"We can't start dreaming of the final now, we have a massive game against Sunderland. That's what we've been dealing with for a long time," said Henry, whose side face the Black Cats on Monday.
"Villarreal made a choice of 'dropping' the league and you could see there was pressure on them but fortunately they didn't go through."
