Henry spent eight years at Arsenal, scoring 174 goals in 254 games for the club before moving to Barcelona and then on to his current club, New York Red Bulls in 2010.
But Henry concedes he still feels part of the club which he left in 2007 and has hinted at a possible return.
"I love the club. Unfortunately we know I had to leave the club but although I left Arsenal you never really leave Arsenal,” he told Reuters.
"Whenever I go back I feel like I have gone home, it's a big family and I became a fan of the club.
"I knew what it was like to beat Manchester United. I knew what it meant to the fans when we were playing against Tottenham, I knew all that.
"You don't get that from one or two years, you need to live and breathe Arsenal to understand that.
"It goes without saying, I would love to go back there. I hope one day I can go back, I love that club and I just want to give as much as possible to this club, after what that club gave me."
At the age of 33, Henry’s playing career is coming to an end and the Frenchman admitted that if he couldn’t return to the playing squad then a backroom role would be an option, and he refused to rule out replacing current manager Arsene Wenger one day in the future.
"I know that the day Arsene leaves is going to be a difficult one, I don't know who can replace him. That is going to be hard,” he continued.
"But, if one day they want me ... I just want to be back one day. When, I don't know, I just want to be back."
