Arsenal’s legendary former striker Thierry Henry heavily hinted at the increasing possibility that the club’s current captain Martin Ødegaard would have to play second fiddle to Eberechi Eze after the playmaker’s historic hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Eze became just the fourth player in the 104-year history of the north London derby to rack up a treble in this fixture, and the first in almost half a century. Henry was famously unbeaten across his 11 appearances against Spurs, yet never scored more than once in a single derby.
