He made this shocking statement in a leaked video posted by Footballogue. Henry, who won two European Golden Shoe awards, spent eight years at Arsenal, where he won several trophies. He is also the club’s all-time leading scorer.

The France 98 World Cup winner is regarded as one of the game’s best strikers, but Samuel Eto’o appears to disagree.

He stated:

“I think he was not at the level of Nicolas Anelka. Thierry Henry was good, but I knew players… I preferred other players. In any case, he was not at my level.”

The luck or the bad luck that I had me, it is not to play in France. Those who played in France had +70%. It’s not because they were strong, but because France sells better. They sold them to us and brought them up to our level.”
