Thierry Henry says player who was exploring Arsenal move is already better than he was
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
The Gunners have had dozens of incredible players in their squad over the years. Many have played a huge part in their success, but Henry is arguably the best ever.
The legendary Frenchman is Arsenal‘s highest-ever goalscorer, netting 228 times in all competitions. He made many people fall in love with the North London club, and he is adored even to this day.
Now, Henry has admitted that one player is even better than he was back in the day.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says he has been overtaken
The incredible thing about football is that at least one extraordinary player emerges every few years.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi‘s dominance cast a shadow over the last 15 years or so, but now, it’s an open race again, and there are a few contenders for the best player in the world tag.
Paris Saint-Germain and France superstar Kylian Mbappe is one of them.
The 25-year-old is an unbelievable footballer. He has achieved almost everything already, and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry feels Mbappe has already surpassed him.
Speaking to , Henry said: “Kylian will be good wherever he goes. We’re talking about a monster here. Let’s be happy that he is French. Kylian, everyone envies us. Every time I am abroad, people say to me: “How lucky you French are to have a player like him!”
Addressing comparisons with himself, Henry said: “He has already overtaken me! It’s already done.
“Kylian is already in the future and that’s good anyway because it’s France, it’s our football and we need this guy who represents us kind of everywhere. Kylian is extraordinary. He’s mad.”
Kylian Mbappe was exploring a move to Arsenal
The Kylian Mbappe to Arsenal rumours always seemed a bit unrealistic, but a report claimed that the Frenchman was exploring a move to join the Gunners.
Just over a month ago, The Independent revealed that Mbappe would ‘willingly’ join Arsenal as following in Thierry Henry’s footsteps really appeals to him.
That, unsurprisingly, raised the excitement levels in and around the Emirates, but now that Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid is getting closer, he has ruled out a move to North London.
The 25-year-old claimed he will not join Arsenal this summer because he doesn’t like the cold weather.
