Arsenal great Thierry Henry admits he's a fan of Liverpool defender Joel Matip.

Matip proved the matchwinner for victory over Champions League opponents Ajax last night.

Henry insisted that the defender deserved more credit and should be mentioned among his star teammates.

"And you're going to mention Van Dijk, and you're going to mention Salah or Mane back in the day or Firmino"' he said.

"But he always comes and does a job and he often scores important goals actually," Henry added in his analysis of the Liverpool defender.
