Arsenal legend Thierry Henry sent a special message to Bukayosaka following his latest achievement with Gunner as he helped Gunner be the top of the Premier League
Arsenal icon Thierry Henry has expressed how proud he is of gunner star Bukayo Saka. The England ace scored from a penalty spot against West Ham, notching his 100th goal contribution in his 200th Premier League appearance at the club.
Saka’s strike from 12 yards helped Arsenal get to the top of the league as he and Declan Rice scored three points against the irons. And Henry didn’t create a secret of his worship for the star player in North London.
The Arsenal legend appears to have a close bond, with Henry, who scored 228 goals for Gunner, sharing a text message with Saka. The 24-year-old followed in the footsteps of his mentors and became the second Arsenal player in the net when he recorded his 200th outing.

“From the Academy to the Emirates,” Henry posted on Instagram since his debut. With 55 goals and 45 assists!!!
“Continue Bukayo to move!!!! I’m so proud of you.”
“Thank you,” Saka said in the comment. The young star was accompanied by a message with emojis on prayer hands and red heart emojis.
After Arsenal won the Iron, Saka revealed that Henry had given some important inspiration. The former Monaco boss texted him an important reminder.
Henry took the time to reinforce the importance of his conflict with West Ham. Arsenal had lost in consecutive meetings with Hammer at the Emirates before Saturday’s victory.
When asked about matching his hero milestones, Saka commented on Henry’s continued impact. “This morning, Thierry sent me a message to remind me that I lost my last two games to West Ham at home,” Saka said.
“He’s always pushing me. I’m really happy to have my name on his record.”
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised Saka’s journey. The Spaniard was pleased with the main man on his side after leading the Premier League.
“It was an incredible journey together,” Arteta said. “The way he did it is special.
“He is loved by everyone and the number he is creating is incredible for his age.
