Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has compared the club’s most expensive player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to former striker, Thierry Henry.
Aubameyang moved from Borussia Dortmund to the Emirates in January for £56million and said he wanted to be like Henry, who is Gunners’ all-time leading goalscorer.
The Gabon striker scored on his debut in a 5-1 win over Everton last weekend, but Wenger has urged caution.
“I would say [he is like] Thierry Henry with his quality of runs, but it’s a bit too early to compare him to the best player ever who played here.
“He has played one game. But it’s a good example to follow.
“His finish was brilliant. His finishing is good. You don’t score by coincidence for so many years, if you score many goals. Even in five-a-side he’s able to score goals, so when the guys can repeat that at the top level it means they have that quality.
“Running-wise, he’s a good example to follow. But Thierry came a bit more to the ball as well, participated more in the game,” Wenger said.
