Henry 'bored' with Real transfer talk

Arsenal's French international striker Thierry Henry is fed up with being linked to Real Madrid and says he is fully committed to the London club.

"The other day, after our Southampton game, I was interviewed by English television about it and I said: 'I'm bored'," he told sports daily l'Equipe.

"I respect Real, I respect everybody but I'd like people to respect what I'm saying."

"I'm fine here. I have plans, ambitions. I want to stay at Arsenal, I don't want to go to Real or elsewhere. That's what I keep saying."

Earlier this month Real coach Carlos Queiroz named Henry, who is the English premier league's leading scorer with 19 goals, as one of his targets for next season.

Henry added: "I'm getting worn out with repeating the same thing a hundred times. I have the impression people are not listening, or worse, that they don't believe me."

Arsenal lead the premier league with 64 points, seven clear of Manchester United.
