Fabregas is set to link up with his ex-Arsenal team-mate for the second time in his career.

The two played alongside each in North London between 2003 and 2007.

Both quit Arsenal to join Barcelona, however, Henry left the Nou Camp in 2010 to join New York Red Bulls a year before Fabregas arrived in Catalonia.

Monaco finished second last season and appointed Henry after the sacking of Leonardo Jardim in October.
They are four points from safety after winning just three league games all season.
