‘Welbeck can be the next Thierry Henry’ – Arsene Wenger

1 Min Read

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has told striker Danny Welbeck to look to Henry for inspiration, after the club legend joined as a winger in 1999 and scored 228 goals as a striker.

Welbeck opened his account for Arsenal at Aston Villa on Saturday after his deadline day switch from Manchester United.

Wenger believes that Welbeck is a good finisher and insists the player only needs a goal-scoring instinct.

Welbeck is now being trained to have better composure and conquer his nerves in front of goal.

“Thierry is a good act to follow,” said Wenger.

I think Danny has an interesting potential and let’s see how he develops.

“He has a good mentality, good physical potential, technical potential, he contributes to our team play because he doesn’t lose the ball up front and those are important qualities.

“He rushed a bit his finishing until now because he didn’t score.”

“It is more a nervous problem maybe because in training he scores goals like a real striker.”

“He is a good finisher.”
