London's Arsenal coach carefully watches the rising Monaco star Kylian Mbappe and compares him to Thierry Henry. The 18-year-old is considered one of the most promising European footballers, and last season, becoming the youngest debutant and goal scorer in his club, outperformed the cannoniers legend. His performances really impressed the Arsenal manager. “Mbappe is like Henry. Maybe not entirely, but it is true that they have similar qualities. Talent and potential are similar,” - Wenger told beIN Sports. “Now it depends on whether he will show the same passion, intelligence, and motivation that Thierry had. This will tell us in the coming two or three years. The first signs are very promising.” “Yes, of course, we are watching him. We know him very well.” “He is just an electrifying guy - like Thierry was. He can dribble, get past people, and is effective. He can become another Henry.” “He is progressing well. I think last season he extended his contract with Monaco, so his future will be decided by Monaco.” This season, in 21 matches in all competitions, Mbappe scored seven goals.
