BARCELONA, Spain (AP) _ Thierry Henry has completed his move to FC Barcelona after passing a medical exam.

``I'm really pleased to be here, it's been a long chase but I'm finally here ... and can't wait to show what I can do for the fans,'' Henry said Monday at a news conference at Barcelona. ``Hopefully I can be a great asset to the team.''

The former Arsenal striker underwent medical tests at Barcelona Hospital and continued them at the Camp Nou stadium with no signs of health issues, the club said.

``There are definitely no problems, everything is in order,'' team doctor Ricard Prune said. ``Henry is not showing any signs of injury or aftereffects that would keep him from being incorporated into the team.''
