Thierry Henry Lauds Bukayo Saka Finishing Instinct

Legendary striker Thierry Henry was left impressed by the finishing instincts of Bukayo Saka on Boxing Day. 

Henry was on pundit duty as Arsenal put on a spirited second-half performance to beat West Ham 3-1 at the Emirates. 

Saka equalized for Arsenal after Said Benrahma had opened the scoring in the first half. The English forward has been on a steady rise in North London and has since become one of the brightest prospects in Europe. 

His performances have earned him praise from an Arsenal legend who has now advised him to keep improving in his finishing. 

"He understands how important it is to win battles, how important it is for him to turn into a killer threat and a player that is not nice," Henry said as quoted by Daily Mail. 

 The retired striker is arguably the best ever striker Arsenal has ever had after he found the back of the next 228 times during his time at the Emirates. He has also expressed optimism that Arsenal finally has a squad that can compete for the title. 

Arsenal opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the Premier League after coming from behind to beat West Ham 3-1 at the Emirates on Monday.

 Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli turned the game around in the space of five second half minutes before Eddie Nketiah stepped up in the absence of Gabriel Jesus to seal all three points.
