Aaron Wan-Bissaka aspired to emulate Arsenal legend Thierry Henry when he was a youngster.

The 21-year-old instead developed into a promising fullback, earning a 50m move to Manchester United over the summer.

"Growing up I looked up to Henry," the Englishman told Joe.

"I just like goals, I liked the way he scored goals. I always pictured myself scoring goals when I was younger.

"I trained there (at right-back) a few times because Palace needed players in that position, that's when they noticed how good I am at tackling and defending."
