Arsenal starlet Oxlade-Chamberlain admits idolising Henry

Arsenal starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain admits he grew up idolising Gunners legend Thierry Henry.

The former Southampton winger was a regular at Arsenal games before signing in the summer.

He told Chinese fans in a Q&A: "For me it was Thierry Henry. I think him and Gianfranco Zola. Zola was quite similar to me because he was small, and I was one of the smallest growing up. I used to watch him a lot, and of course Thierry because he was unbelievable. He just used to score every week - Match of the Day just used to be him scoring goals for fun."
