The Magpies boss is currently short of striking options following Andy Carroll's deadline-day move to Liverpool last week and Shola Ameobi has since sustained an injury.

When asked about Henry, Pardew told the Evening Chronicle: "I don't think that's possible."
However, he did admit there could be moves in the free transfer market, adding: "I haven't even thought about it, if I'm honest, but we will do over the next 48 hours."
