Praise from Arsenal icon Henry gives me confidence - Bournemouth star Wilson

Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson is buoyed by the praise from Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.


Henry, now a pundit for Sky Sports, praised the 23-year-old striker for his recent performances on Monday Night Football.

Wilson has scored four goals in last two games for the Cherries including a hat-trick against West Ham United and admits the plaudits from a man like Henry can help him kick on and continue his golden run.

In an insightful piece on Bournemouth's official website, Wilson said: "Some moments do stand out though, like seeing Thierry Henry talk about me on Monday Night Football.

"He was my footballing idol growing up so things like that definitely give you confidence, but it's important to keep grounded. If you're on too much of a rollercoaster you can send yourself a bit crazy!"
