Henry’s career was taking a turn for the worse while at Juventus before Arsene Wenger signed him for Arsenal and converted him from a nippy but inconsistent winger into one of the most prolific strikers ever seen in the Premiership. 
It took a little time for Henry to bed into the English style of play, but once he’d acclimatised himself the goals started to flow. In an Arsenal side famed for its slick passing football, Henry’s blistering pace and finishing ability was the team’s major weapon.
Henry’s finishing abilities have helped lead Arsenal to their historic unbeaten season in 2003/2004 – as well as a cupboard full of silverware, both in the Premiership and the domestic Cup competitions. His goals have been the bedrock on which Arsenal have dominated English football in recent seasons.
He may be the best striker in the Premiership at present, but he only makes number 49 on this list. He is yet to translate his domestic form into the international arena. He’s won a World Cup and a European Championship with France, but he failed to dominate those competitions as he does in England. That may yet come, and if it does, people will talk of Henry as one of THE all-time great strikers.
