UCL: ‘He Reminds me of Robin Van Persie,’ Henry Lauds Chelsea Star

Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has heaped praises on Chelsea’s Champions League match-winner, Kai Havertz.

According to the Arsenal record scorer, Havertz reminds him of his former Gunners colleague, Van Perise.

Speaking with CBS Sport, Henry said, “He reminds me sometimes, a little, of Robin back to goal the way he can hold the ball.

“Robin van Persie was very good with his left foot, the touch was always immaculate, and he tried to bring people along.

“This is why out of the guys that used to be wingers or No.10 he plays as a 9 because with his back to goal he can hold the ball well.”
