Thierry Henry headed for New York

HARRISON, N.J. — French striker Thierry Henry is going to play for the New York Red Bulls, according to NBA star and friend Steve Nash.

Red Bulls general manager Erik Soler refused to confirm Henry would be signed next week, but the MLS team has said a star player will be introduced on Thursday.

Nash was much more willing to talk about his buddy, Henry. The Phoenix Suns guard and part-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps said Henry's move to the MLS is "fantastic."

"Thierry is still a world-class player," Nash said. "We've seen players come over before who showed how great they were, but not necessarily every night.

"I think he's still capable of bringing it at the highest level," Nash said. "It's amazing that he's willing to come over at this stage of his career, to be honest. It's a big coup for Red Bull and MLS as well."
