Thierry Henry has admitted a player can "always do more" for his team as his loan spell with Arsenal draws to a close.

The club's record goalscorer has added three more strikes to his tally since rejoining the club on-loan from New York Red Bulls, scoring against Leeds in the FA Cup, once in the 7-1 drubbing of Blackburn Rovers and added the winner in the 2-1 win over Sunderland.

After getting the late goal against Martin O'Neill's side, Henry admitted that it is in his nature to want more from himself, regardless of previous performances.

"You can always do more," Henry told the club's official website. "I was in the dressing room thinking I missed a chance against Aston Villa when I came on and should have put the ball in the back of the net.

"But if you had asked me if I would rather have scored against Villa or this one against Sunderland, I think I would have chosen this opportunity against Sunderland.

"You can always do better, that is what I tell myself. We will see after the last game against Milan how it was for me."
