Arsenal are ready to go to battle with club legend Thierry Henry.

France U21 coach Henry wants to have William Saliba as part of his squad at this year's Paris Olympics.

But the Mirror says Arsenal may ban Saliba from participating in the Olympics because the tournament is not recognized by FIFA.

Gunners management believe the defender may miss the start of the new season if he plays for France, first at Euro 2024 and then at the Olympics.

As such, they're ready to block Henry from calling on Saliba, 22.
