New York Red Bulls global adviser Gerard Houllier has surprisingly cast doubt over Thierry Henry?s proposed move to Arsenal in January.

The French striker is expected to return on loan from the MLS club but former Liverpool and Aston Villa manager Houllier said he believes Henry will prefer to rest with his family over Christmas after his partner gave birth to a baby boy in August.

Speaking to French TV station Canal Plus, Houllier said: ?I find it strange what we hear in the media. If Arsene needed him, he would have called me or sporting director Andy Roxburgh, but this is not the case.

?I do not think both parties need to have this second comeback. Moreover, he became a dad. I think he will want to enjoy the holidays.

Henry spent two months on loan with Arsenal last January, scoring two goals in seven appearances.

Arsenal intend to bring in another striker in January with Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Demba Ba among their targets while they also maintain strong interest in Atletico Madrid?s Adrian Lopez and Wilfried Zaha at Crystal Palace
