Henry, who became the club's manager in October after the sacking of Leonardo Jardim, is well aware of the challenge that he faces for the remainder of the season and has entered the January transfer window to strengthen his squad options.

Monaco have been pushing forward with a move for Cesc Fàbregas, with a deal expected to be announced soon.

The Monaco manager recently confirmed that he has every intention of bringing the 31-year-old Chelsea star to the Stade Louis II.
