Bournemouth striker Jaidon Anthony admits he was "gobsmacked" training with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
Anthony spent 10 years on the books at Arsenal, progressing alongside the likes of Emile Smith-Rowe and Reiss Nelson before going on to join Cherries in 2016.
Asked about Henry, Anthony told the Daily Echo: "Growing up he was just the guy I wanted to be like, really. I remember when he was doing his coaching badges he did a session.
"I was so gobsmacked, I couldn't get my words out really.
"He was a special player and I was grateful to even have those few sessions with him where I was in awe of him really, I was really obsessed with him.
"Obviously, he was starting out and doing a few sessions here and there.
"There was a specific session where we were doing finishing and he joined in. He still had so much quality, it was unbelievable. He was a top player and I really look up to him."
