Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson says working with Belgium assistant coach Thierry Henry was crucial in his development.

The midfielder was coached by Henry as a junior.

He told Goal: "Thierry [Henry] is an Arsenal legend and I had an opportunity to spend time with him when he was a coach at the academy.

"I think he helped me a lot over his short time as Arsenal coach and he showed me little things that I took on board and have now started to show in my game.

"He was a great coach for me but he's also a great guy. He helped the younger players a lot and he said that the main things at Arsenal are respect and hard work. He always underlined these two things.

"He said if you could take that in at a young age, the talent will do its work; that if you work hard and respect everyone around you, you can push on to become a top player."
