could re-join the club for a third spell in January, on a loan deal.
The Gunners record goal-scorer is just keeping fit during the MLS
off-season, and Wenger remains coy on whether he will sign him next
month, to bolster his attacking unit.
"I've not lost interest in him," Wenger said.
"He's still coming to practice with us. We are very close
(personally), but at the moment I think he has had second spell at
the club that was very successful. You have to be cautious that it's
not one time too many.
"I have not completely ruled it out but I haven't spoken about it with
him at all."
