Arsenal youngster Josh Dasilva is thankful to club legend Thierry Henry for the time former striker spent with him on the training ground.
The 18-year-old recently switched his position from striker to midfield and claims that the club's all-time leading scorer Henry played a huge role in the transformation during his time as an academy coach.
He told the club's official website: "The past year has been quite an eventful one for me. I was playing as a striker a year ago and now I'm firmly established as a midfielder, and really enjoying it.
"Andries Jonker spoke to me and explained that they had seen me play in midfield for the under- 16s and also the way I made chances for others when up front, he felt that I had potential as a midfielder.
"It was a position that I needed to get reacquainted with, and I'm thankful that Thierry Henry spent a lot of time working with me. He explained I had to concentrate on getting the basics right, like tackling, passing and positioning and then my natural style will come out. He emphasised playing quickly.
"I've also done a lot of training with Steve Gatting and Carl Laraman with the under-23s which has helped me, and while it felt weird at first, I'm now fully comfortable in midfield and able to be myself."
