Thierry Henry, in his role as a pundit on CBS Sports, didn’t hold back his admiration for Gabriel Jesus, openly expressing his desire to have shared the pitch with the Brazilian during their illustrious careers. Henry articulated:
““I will be honest with you. I think like, for example, and it’s a massive example I would have loved to play with him. I’m sure if you asked anyone, they would love to play with him. Is he a guy who is going to score 25 or 30? I don’t know. I’d like to think so. The pass tonight won the game. And yes I was talking about all around play but those opportunities were magnificent”

His signing has proven to be a masterstroke for Arsenal, rendering the decision to bench him in favor of another frontman an immensely challenging one.
