“And here it is, it's no longer a dream, it's no longer a fantasy, it has come true. Make it count. When I arrived in Arsenal, I was told that it was a prestigious, family club, and that it was necessary to fight whatever happens. I wish you the best, I am so happy. Come on Arsenal! »»launched Thierry Henry in a video addressed to Eze Eberechi.

Arsenal completed its incredible summer recruitment by offering itself the services of the English international attacking midfielder, which leaves several successful seasons at Crystal Palace, for 69 million euros. Before that, the London club attracted the Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi for € 70 million, the winger Noni Madueke for € 55 million and especially the goalscorer Viktor Gyökeres for € 65 million (before bonus).

“Titi” Henry is convinced, his heart club, with whom he has become one of the best players in the history of the Premier League, is now the big favorite in the title! Mikel Arteta's training is above the title champion Liverpool and the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola, who were both reinforced.
