As Henry stood on the touchlines during a Belgium v Switzerland Nations League game on Friday, the website of L’Equipe said the 1998 World Cup winner “has agreed” to a three-year deal with the club and would be unveiled after the weekend. Henry will “leave Belgium on Saturday to travel to Monaco, where his three-year contract will be officialised”. The report added: “He will be unveiled to the media on Monday.”
