Arsenal legend Henry: I wish I'd played with Ozil

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admits he's a big fan of Mesut Ozil. Henry, currently with New York Red Bulls, is training at London Colney during the offseason.

"I would have loved to have played with him, he reminds me of Robert Pires," Henry told Sky Sports of Ozil. "He will share the ball. He can find a guy who is quick, a target striker. He can play any type of ball.

"He has the thing you want from a midfielder. He has time. It seems like he is playing on his own in his garden.

"He brought that composure on the ball that you need. I think he brought that to Arsenal football club.

"Him coming with his name. You have got to back it up. He did back it up."
