Southampton forward Theo Walcott has revealed that Robin van Persie is a better finisher than Thierry Henry during their hay days at the Arsenal.
Henry remains the club’s highest goalscorer in history and was one of the best strikers in the history of the Premier League.
The Frenchman during his active years, steered the Gunners to the final of the Champions League in Paris before the Gunners lost against Barcelona.
The World Cup winner bagged a total of 226 goals for Arsenal compared to Robin Van Persie who scored 132.
Meanwhile, Theo Walcott, who played alongside both strikers in the colours of the Gunners, stated clearly that the Dutchman was his best teammate.
According to the report on UK Sun, the former Everton star explained that Robin Van Persie was doing things differently at Arsenal when he was with the side.
“I remember one season I set up around 14 of Van Persie’s 30-odd goals. “For me, two of them in a team with me as well, was one of the best [teams].
That’s including England. My greatest team-mate would have to be Van Persie. “For me, he was the best finisher I’ve ever seen, he was better than Thierry Henry, he made it look so easy.”
