Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has named Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr as the best left winger in the world but not without some praise for Gabriel Martinelli.
When asked if Vinicius is the best left-sided wideman in the world at the minute, Henry told CBS Sports : Yes. At the moment, yes. You have guys that are doing okay at Arsenal in the Premier League. Martinelli is coming.
"But in the last two years, Vinicius Jr has been solid." It is high praise indeed for Martinelli considering Vinicius has scored 43 goals and provided 36 assists across all competitions over the last two seasons, as per Transfermarkt.
