Arsenal's Bukayo Saka reveals Thierry Henry advice and Arsene Wenger regret ahead of France test

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has revealed how Gunners' hero Thierry Henry has been a figure of advice over the past 18 months after the heartbreak of Euro 2020. Saka missed the decisive spot-kick to hand Italy victory at Wembley in his first major international tournament 18 months ago.

The Gunners' forward has continued to improve since the miss against PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma, becoming one of Mikel Arteta’s most influential players. Last season, he scored 12 goals and provided a further seven assists as Arsenal narrowly missed out on a Champions League place before taking his game up a gear this campaign.

Already, the 21-year-old has five goals and six assists after helping steer the north-Londoners to the top of the Premier League table. The Hale Ender has also showcased his reluctance to shy away from penalties with successful spot-kicks against Edouard Mendy, David De Gea and Alisson since Euro 2020.
