Thierry Henry - Saka: the former Arsenal star revealed the details of their chat.

According to The Sun: Bukayo Saka talked about a joke that Thierry Henry sent him before the match between Arsenal and West Ham.

Arsenal celebrated a routine victory with a score of 2:0 at the Emirates Stadium.

Declan Rice opened the scoring, and after the break, Saka confirmed the advantage by converting a penalty.

This goal made him only the second player in Arsenal's history to score in his 200th match for the club. The first player to achieve this was Thierry Henry himself, who sent a message before the match.

“Of course, it was – this guy has all the records,” Saka commented upon learning about the achievement.

“It is really nice for me. Thierry constantly writes to me. He sent a message this morning to remind me that we lost the last two matches against West Ham at home.

“He always pushes me, and I guess he wants me to succeed.”

“It’s nice to have such support from him, and I’m pleased that my name is among these records.”

“I will continue to work hard and strive to win trophies that we have long dreamed of.”

Besides scoring a goal, it was also his shot that Rice followed up to score.

However, Arsenal's victory was somewhat overshadowed by Martin Ødegaard's injury, as he left the stadium with a knee brace.

Additionally, Rice also left the pitch due to back issues, taken as a precaution.

Currently, Arsenal continues to fight for trophies this season, and thanks to his achievements, Saka is becoming an increasingly prominent player in the team. We look forward to his further performances and the swift recovery of injured players, as the battle for championship victory grows ever fiercer.
