Thierry Henry called for patience when it comes to Arsenal’s new striker Viktor Gyökeres, warning that players rarely hit the ground running after moving to the Premier League for the first time.
Henry knows this all too well himself. The revered Frenchman didn’t score in any of his first seven Premier League appearances for Arsenal following his arrival from Juventus in 1999, infamously blasting one effort so wayward it hit the clock at the club’s old Highbury ground. Never again would he endure such a long goal drought in the competition.
