Thierry Henry names one Arsenal who is creatively as good as Kevin de Bruyne - not Odegaard

Arsenal delighted Thierry Henry with their 4-3 win over Luton Town to maintain their spot at the top of the Premier League table.

However, the Frenchman was particularly won over by the performance of Bukayo Saka and his role in the build-up play for Gabriel Jesus’ goal.

Speaking about Saka’s performance, Henry said: “You see Kevin de Bruyne do that. Not the pass, I’m talking about what Bukayo Saka does,.

“The way he pulls away from the pressure to be able to see the pass and get it to Ben White. The way he went back to get that little space to be able to have time to make that assist, it was just magnificent.”

Saka tormented the Hatters backline with his clever movement and also got an assist by setting up Gabriel Martinelli’s goal.

The young winger has been one of the best players in Europe this season, scoring eight goals and providing 12 assists across all competitions.
