Theo Walcott says he played with someone at Arsenal who was a better finisher than Thierry Henry
Theo Walcott was lucky enough to play with some incredible players during his career.
Walcott played with the best of the best for both Arsenal and England as he shared a pitch with the likes of Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Roo🐼ney and Cesc Fabregas.
Speaking to the BBC on TikTok, Walcott has been building his so-called ult🅰imate player made up of attributes of for🏅mer opponents and teammates.
Inevitably, Walcott picked Lionel Messi’s dribbling and Cesc Fabregas’ passing abilitꦿy, but he made an interestin🌊g claim about the best finisher he played with.
Walcott snubbed Thierry Henry when making his ultimate player, claiming that he thought Robin van Persie was a better finisher than the Frenchman.

Wal💙cott built his ultimate 🌃player made up of players he’s shared the pitch with.
The winger said that Van Persie was a better finisher than Henry🀅.
Henry did score more Premier League goals than Van Persie, but Walcott believes 🐲the Dutchman was much more lethal.
“The best finisher for me would be Robin van Persie, that left foot was genu🅰inely a wand, surp꧂risingly not Thierry Henry, so yeah, Robin van Persie,” Walcott said.
Theo Walcott said Thierry Henry was better than Van Persie
Walcott may think that Van Persie was a better finisher than Henry, but as an all-rounಌd player, he prefers the Frenchman.
Indeed, Walcott picked Henry over Van Persie when ranking Arsenal legends a few months ago.
Interestingly, he also picked ❀Henry oveꦰr Dennis Bergkamp.
Henry is undoubtedly one of Arsenal’s greatest ever players, and he’s perhaps the best th✅e Premier League has ever see෴n.
Cesc Fabregas recently claimed that Hen▨ry was in the same bracket as Lionel Messi, and it’s not hard to understand why.
Henry has won more Premier League Golden Boots th♍an any other player, while he also holds the record for the most assists in a Premier League s♏eason.
Walcott may think that Van Persie is the be๊tter finisher, but Henry is an all-time great.
