Arsenal legend Henry tells Leicester midfielder Maddison he's a fan

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has told Leicester City midfielder James Maddison he's a fan.

Henry made the admission in a chat for Puma.

"Keep on doing what you're doing because I love the way you're playing," Henry said.

“I like to watch players like you that think. Thinking is important in the game and there is one thing that we don't use often which is our brain. The best camera that we have is our brain, we take pictures every day. And so whether you remember what you took or not as a picture, your brain will have it in the back of your head.

“Carry on doing what you're doing, love the way you're playing, think about the team – it's the most important thing – but remember if you don't have a big ego channelled well towards the team, towards your goal and what you need to do to help the team, you will never succeed.

“People always say, 'big ego this guy' and he should [have one] but towards what the team needs. Put your individual work into the good of the team."
