EPL: Mikel Arteta is better than Arsene Wenger – Thierry Henry

Former Arsenal captain, Thierry Henry, shared that he watched the team’s matches during Arsene Wenger’s tenure out of a sense of obligation.

He expressed difficulty in watching Arsenal during Wenger’s later years and under Unai Emery.

Nonetheless, Henry expressed contentment with the club’s progress under Mikel Arteta.

Speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, the 46-year-old stated, “Five years ago, I struggled to connect with the team.”

“I just couldn’t. I was going to the games because I had to not because I wanted to.

“It was just because I was an Arsenal fan not as I wanted to see them play. But now I can see what they’re about.”
