http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918 at the Emirates – Premier League Update
Arsenal winger and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international, Theo Walcott has gone on to admit that he is looking forward to meeting Thierry Henry at the Emirates next week.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 legend is set to return to the Emirates, with his new team the New York Red Bulls, in order to participate in the Emirates Cup. However, Walcott has gone on to admit that he would be first in line to welcome back his hero.
Walcott was a sixteen year old when he arrived at Arsenal in 2006 and ever since his arrival at the club, he went on to form a strong friendship with Henry. However, the French international went on to part ways with the team only eighteen months later, as he joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Walcott when talking about Henry is reported to have said: "He's been a great influence to me so it will be nice to see his face"
"I think he changes his phone number a lot so it's tough to keep in touch with him! So many people want a bit of him but he will always be there for me, definitely.
"Thierry has always given me advice, telling me just to enjoy my football and not believe what people say about you. He told me just to go out and play my football and not worry about the hype. That's what I've been doing and hopefully it's working."
What is interesting about the Walcott Henry saga, is the fact that the young English forward was hailed to be the replacement for the French magician at the club. In fact, Walcott also wears the same jersey number that Henry immortalized at the club – ‘14’.
Nonetheless, that being said, despite both players having ample respect for each other, they are also some of the best competitors in the world. As a result, we can be assured to see one of the best pre-season games, when Walcott and Henry face off against each other in the Emirates cup.
