Antonio Rudiger has named Thierry Henry and Ronaldo Nazario as his two favourite strikers growing up.

The Chelsea defender has established himself as a top-quality centre-back in recent seasons.

And he admits former Arsenal striker Henry would have been tough to mark.

"I will say Thierry Henry for that one," revealed Rudiger.

"What a player he was! I think he'd be a great addition to any side, his pace was electric and he could score all types of goals."

He added: "My first hero was Ronaldo – the Brazilian one, the 'real' one!"
