The French football legend, who enjoyed immense success during his time at Arsenal, expressed apprehensions about the potential consequences such a move could have on Osimhen's career trajectory.

Thierry Henry, the iconic former Arsenal striker, has issued a stark warning to Nigerian football sensation Victor Osimhen, advising him against a potential move to Arsenal.

The French football legend, who enjoyed immense success during his time at Arsenal, expressed apprehensions about the potential consequences such a move could have on Osimhen's career trajectory.

Henry's Cautionary Message

In a recent interview with a prominent sports outlet, Henry emphasized the significance of Osimhen carefully deliberating his options before committing to a move to Arsenal.

Drawing from his own experiences, Henry highlighted the intense scrutiny and pressure that come with representing a club of Arsenal's stature.

“I’d like to see him now, what he can do in the Premier League or wherever he’s going or Paris Saint-Germain. Not Arsenal, I won’t go there.

“I want to see him take the next step and be more consistent with his output, but to be able to win the title with Napoli the way he did will stay in history forever, so all the best to him in his career," he said.

Concerns Over Development and Progress

Henry's warning stems from his belief that Osimhen might not receive the necessary support and opportunities to further his development and progress at Arsenal.

The former Arsenal striker expressed concerns about the competitive nature of the Premier League and its potential impact on Osimhen's growth as a young footballer.

Arsenal's Recent Struggles

Henry's cautionary advice comes amidst Arsenal's struggles to reclaim their former glory in recent seasons. The North London club has faced challenges on both domestic and European fronts, failing to consistently challenge for major trophies in recent years.

Potential Impact on Osimhen's Career Trajectory

Henry believes that Osimhen should prioritize joining a club where he can continue to thrive and evolve as a player. While Arsenal boasts a rich history and tradition, Henry cautioned against romanticizing the club's past achievements and urged Osimhen to focus on his long-term career aspirations.
