“He Was At Chelsea In His Early Years":Thierry Henry Reveals Eddie Nketiah's Previous Club
Thierry Henry Reveals Why Eddie Nketiah Left Chelsea To Join Arsenal
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has revealed the reason behind Eddie Nketiah's move from Chelsea to the Emirates.
Nketiah was released by the Blues as a youngster in 2015 before joining Arsenal, where he went through the ranks to become a key figure at the London club.
The English-born Ghanaian worked with Henry during the twilight of his career, where the Frenchman often visited the youth set up.
According to Henry, Nketiah was eager for more play time but at Chelsea Tammy Abraham was preferred over the England youth forward.
“He was at Chelsea in his early years. People don’t know that," Henry said as quoted by HITC.
“Because Tammy Abraham was there and doing what he was doing, he left Chelsea to come to Arsenal."

“You win a title with a squad. That is very important and what Eddie Nketiah showed tonight, he showed that he can be the answer for the time being," Henry added.
The 23-year-old has scored in his last 11 starts for the Gunners.
