Arsenal’s all-time leading scorer, Thierry Henry has named Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka as the two players he wished he played with.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Henry was asked which forwards he would have liked to play with and he picked out the former Chelsea strikers.
Henry said of Drogba: “Because of the way he used to play and the way he was. You have two players who I would have loved to play with in the Premier League. Him and Anelka.
“I would have loved to play with Anelka up front and him. I think both of us up front, problem, big problem. I saw him [Drogba] the other day and we were actually talking about it. We sat down at the airport and I went, ‘Can you believe if we played both of us together?’
“He didn’t like to go too much out of that area and I was more of a mover, a bit everywhere. It would have been a bit of a problem.
“Let’s not forget Anelka was a problem as well, I would have loved to play with Nicolas.”
The Ivorian legend went on to become a club icon after joining Chelsea in 2004. He won both the Premier League and the Champions League, scoring 164 goals across two spells.
Intriguingly, Henry never played alongside Anelka in the Premier League, though they were both in the France squad. Henry joined the Gunners in the summer of 1999 just before Anelka left for Real Madrid.
Henry notched 228 of them in total during his time across Highbury and The Emirates, where he terrorised many a Premier League defence.
