Barcelona winger Lionel Messi expressed his delight at being able to count Thierry Henry as a team-mate after the Frenchman completed his move from Arsenal.
Messi, currently with the Argentina squad ahead of their Copa America opener against the United States, found time this evening to enthuse over the latest arrival at the Nou Camp.
"Is there anyone who does not want Henry in his team?" Messi said on Argentinian TV station TyC Sports.
"I am very pleased to have him as team-mate at Barcelona because he is a fantastic player."
Messi also confirmed he has no immediate plans to leave Blaugranas in the near future but hinted he would like to play back in his homeland at some stage in his career.
"I have no intention of quitting Barca and I could stay here forever," said the 20-year-old.
"People treat me very well here and I have no problems with the board - I have everything.
"However, maybe some day, it would be nice to play in Argentina as I dreamt when I was a child."
