PSG coach Laurent Blanc has paid tribute to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry following his retirement announcement.

Henry will always be most closely associated with Arsenal, where he is the all-time highest goalscorer with 228 goals in 377 games across two different spells, but he is also a World Cup winner.

Former Manchester United defender Blanc told L'Equipe: "He was a very, very good player. It's very hard for the children of today to imagine just how much Thierry Henry did across his football career.

"He did an enormous amount - with the French team but of course, most of all, with Arsenal.

"He has left an extremely big impression at Arsenal.

"He was an exceptional player with exceptional qualities. He had great goal-scoring ability and impressive durability.

"He still has an incredible physique but now he has decided it's time to stop. So I must congratulate him for the career he has had and say 'bravo' to him."
