Thierry Henry
The legendary former striker spent eight years at the Gunners and became the club’s all-time record goal-scorer while helping the club win two Premier League titles and a pair of FA Cups.
He was part of the Gunners side that won the league title in 2004 without losing a single game.
And the Arsenal legend has revealed he was offered huge wages to leave the club after their Invincible’s season – and has urged Chelsea star Diego Costa to stay put amid interest from the Chinese Super League.
The debate was around a player’s ambitions to win trophies or cash in by moving to China despite the poor standard of football.
“I can understand [why Costa’s head would be turned by the offer],” Henry stated.
“It depends what’s your priority. I went through it when I was at Arsenal, when we stayed unbeaten in the league. Some clubs came, double, triple whatever salary and I stayed because my main priority wasn’t money.” ,said the former Gunner.
“But I can understand when it is for a player. You have to understand a background of a player, what it is. You ask anyone in the world you can triple, quadruple what it is your salary I don’t know anyone in the world who would go ‘er, no’. You’re going to listen. My priority was different.”
Henry spent eight years at Arsenal – returning for a brief spell in 2012 too – scoring 228 goals in 377 games.
Henry eventually left Arsenal in 2007 to join Barcelona before moving to the MLS in America for three years at New York Red Bulls.
