Twelve months on from being part of a failed takeover bid at Arsenal, Thierry Henry has made his foray into ownership by becoming a shareholder of upwardly-mobile Serie B club Como.
He had taken on a prominent role in Spotify owner Daniel Ek’s £1.8bn attempt to purchase the Gunners, which the incumbent Kroenke family gave short shrift to last September despite the club’s record goalscorer promising that Ek was prepared to bide his time.
But after a conversation with Cesc Fabregas, who signed a two-year playing deal with Como at the beginning of August that includes shares, the 45-year-old has committed to investing in another club that has big plans to restore itself to previous glories.
