Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom has laughed off comparisons with Thierry Henry.

Alexis Sanchez has dubbed the youngster 'Titi' after the Gunners legend.

"One day in training with the first team I scored an Henry-type goal, cutting inside and finishing," Akpom told the Daily Mail.

"I could see Sanchez jumping, he' s an enthusiastic guy at the best of times and he's going: 'Titi, Titi, Titi, Titi!'. The next morning he came to me and said 'Titi.'

"Then the next morning he came to me and said 'Titi.[ I asked: 'hold on is this my new nickname?' That's how it came about and it's stuck since then.

"Now the lads just call me Titi or Thierry Henry - I'll take that. It's not a bad comparison to have.

"He was my idol growing up. Playing for the academy and watching Arsenal's first team I used to see players like Henry scoring every week and it really inspired me."
