Arsenal are a special club for many French supporters. I watched them a lot, especially during the 'Invincible' era when they had Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Sylvain Wiltord, and Robert Pires.

Dimitri Payet

Growing up, I watched other teams, and I fell in love with Arsenal. I wasn't really interested in posters, but I saw many, many videos. Players like Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira made me love the club, and I dreamt of going there.

Matteo Guendouzi

Fans should remember Thierry Henry when he joined Arsenal. He didn't score much before becoming an icon of this club.

Robert Pires

Once I started playing as a striker, I'd say I looked up to Julie Fleeting and Thierry Henry.

Nikita Parris

I really liked watching Thierry Henry and Zidane, especially Henry in his Arsenal days.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

At the academy the coaches would show us Arsenal games on TV and my idol was Thierry Henry. He inspired me. That's why I became an Arsenal fan.

Gervinho

I've always been a big fan of Thierry Henry. I enjoy watching all the great players, really. But we're always drawn to some players more than others, and in my case, it's Titi. He's my favourite player. I also really liked Luis Figo when he was at Real Madrid.

Stan Wawrinka

Arsenal showed the door to too many people. Why did they let Thierry Henry go? When I found out about his move I realised the Arsenal I played for were finished.

Freddie Ljungberg

I liked Thierry Henry. I watched Arsenal so much on TV.

Chris Smalling

I remember being a young boy in Poland, watching David Seaman, Thierry Henry, Dennis Berkamp and others play for Arsenal. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get a chance to play for the club I supported as a little kid.

Wojciech Szczesny

I am delighted to be here at Arsenal and to be part of one of the great teams in English football. It's a huge satisfaction to join this great club and it’s been a dream since I was young to play in the Premier League. I was attracted by the philosophy of football and Arsène Wenger’s 'touch' at this club. I have always admired Arsenal with its great history and reputation, and I now hope to achieve great things here. I’m very proud to be a Gunner and I will give my best for all the Arsenal fans.

Olivier Giroud

Thierry Henry is Thierry Henry. I still have everything to prove. By continuing to work, I will try to reach his level, but I am still very far off.

Anthony Martial

They're a very offensive team and even without Thierry Henry they can still do damage to you all over the pitch. (on Arsenal)

Frank Lampard

I lived a dream. Any kid who starts playing can't help but to dream to play at a club like Arsenal.

Gervinho

Thierry is the best striker in the world. By far he's the best in the world. Thierry doesn't just score goals. Even when he's not having a good day he can make an important pass. He is a strong character. If things go wrong, he bounces straight back. His effect on the club is very big.
