Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah admits Thierry Henry had a big influence on him in the academy.

The Gunners great did some coaching inside the club's academy - and Nketiah admits his game benefited from working with the Frenchman.

Nketiah told arsenal.com: "When I first came to Arsenal, the assistant of the Head of Academy Dave Court was the one that was really pushing for me.

"He really believed in me. Kwame [Ampadu] as well, he was our coach when I first came in the under-18s. Then I'd probably say Thierry [Henry] as well, in the year I worked with him when he first came up to under-18s.

"He's a legend, having him there believing in you and having that confidence behind you. I think I had one of my best seasons that year, he just gave me so much confidence."
