Arsenal are in Premier League action this Saturday as they head to Everton in the day’s early kick-off.

Arsenal have had a fair few injury issues to deal with this season, with the likes of Gabriel Ma♍galhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz all currently out.

The Arsenal players Andre Harriman-Annous was inspired by growing up

Harriman-Annous revealed in Arsenal’s featu🥀re how he wanted to play like Highbury legend Thier✃ry Henry.

However, his Arsenal idols growing up were Alexis Sanchez an༒d Mesut Ozil.

“I’ve always been an attacking player, mainly on🦩 the wing,” he said.

“Growing 🔴up I was told about Thierry🐽 Henry and how good he was.

“I’ve seen lots of f🎉ootage of ﷺhim online and the range of goals he’d score was incredible, he’s someone that I wanted to play like.

“But I’d say players that I loved watching for Arsenal at the time were Al🌜exis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. They were my idols.”
