Samuel Eto'o wants Thierry Henry to join him at Barcelona

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o believes Thierry Henry belongs at the Nou Camp - and feels the arrival of the France star would allow him to better his own goalscoring record with the Spanish champions.

Henry, whose contract at Arsenal expires in the summer of 2007, has been continually linked with a switch to Barca at the end of the campaign.

Even though the Frenchman's arrival would represent a threat to his position as Barca's leading frontman, Eto'o would welcome Henry's presence at the club.

"It's very simple - Barca are one of the biggest clubs in the world and Thierry is one of the best strikers in the world," the prolific Cameroon international told L'Equipe.

"His place is at Barca. All the great players should play for great clubs. For me, there is not the slightest doubt."
