USA star makes major Arsenal admission and reveals Thierry Henry influence before England clash

Leeds and USA midfielder Tyler Adams has revealed that he was a huge Thierry Henry fan as a child and watched a lot of Arsenal games.

Adams featured for the U.S. Men's National Team (USMNT) in their opening World Cup fixture against Wales as the match ended in a 1-1 draw following Gareth Bale's late equaliser from the penalty spot. The Americans now face a huge test on Friday against Group B leaders England who enjoyed a brilliant start to the World Cup with a 6-2 win against Iran.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was the star of the show for the Three Lions as he scored twice in the brilliant opening win on Monday, November 21. The 21-year-old looks set to lineup against former Gunners youth teammate Yunus Musah who impressed for USMNT, whilst Adams has opened up on his own links to Arsenal.
