Arsenal striker Nketiah: Working with Henry was priceless; Cazorla so good

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah admits he found working with Thierry Henry as priceless.

Nketiah worked with Belgium's current assistant coach with the youth team at Arsenal.

He told Four Four Two: “We worked on the classic Henry finish, opening up his body and side-footing it into the bottom corner. It's priceless getting tips from someone like him.

“I loved watching Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright. I'd watch their clips and try to copy them."

Despite Henry no longer coaching at the club, Nketiah admitted he still learns every day from training with the first team.

He explained: “Ozil is a really good manipulator of the ball", while adding Santi Cazorla inspired him before he was injured, adding: “He [was] incredible on the ball and so good to watch."
