Thierry Henry is a name synonymous with Arsenal

Thierry Henry is a name synonymous with Arsenal. His entire time in the Premier League was spent with the Gunners, and he made such an impact that a statue of him was erected outside of the Emirates in 2011. Henry was known for his turn-of-pace and ability to weave in and out of defenders. He was even known to curl one in the top corners of the goal when he felt like it.

Henry arrived in London in the summer of 1999, after being signed from Juventus for £14.5m. He had made a name for himself playing for Monaco and Juventus in the years prior to this move to the Gunners, so in the first season, he featured in 31 of the 38 Premier League games, scoring a respectable 17 goals.

In the summer of 2007, Henry left to join Barcelona for £21.6m, which was half of his market value (£40.5m) at the time. It was perhaps Wenger's worst decisions in his 20-odd years at Arsenal. In this period (1999-2007), Thierry Henry made 254 appearances for the Gunners and scored a whopping 174 goals.

Henry would return for one final time to Arsenal in January of the 2011-2012 season, on loan from New York Red Bulls. He scored once in the FA Cup and once in the Premier League, putting his total goals scored in the league up to a solid 175.

Henry retired in January 2015, following a three-year spell with New York Red Bulls.
