Becks's Henry plea

David Beckham would relish the prospect of lining up alongside Thierry Henry.

David Beckham would relish the prospect of lining up alongside Thierry Henry at Real Madrid.

Henry's future at Arsenal is shrouded in mystery with the Frenchman seemingly stalling on talks to extend a contract which has just 18 months left to run.

Barcelona are known admirers of the prolific striker and Beckham admits that he is unsure of Henry's intentions.

But should he opt for a move to La Liga, the England captain has urged him to choose El Bernabeu over Camp Nou and remains fearful of the consequences if Henry finds a home in Catalonia.

"It would be amazing if Thierry Henry joined Madrid - he is one of the best strikers in the world," said Beckham.

"Maybe he will stay at Arsenal and maybe he won't.

"But just imagine what would happen if he went to Barcelona with Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o."
