Former Arsenal's managing director, Keith Edelman, has opened up about the reason behind Thierry Henry's decision to leave the club to join Barcelona in 2007. Henry, who spent 8 years at Arsenal, left the Gunners and joined the Catalan giants for a reported €24 million transfer fee. The French superstar dominated the Premier League and made himself feared across European football. The former France international played 377 games for the Gunners, registering 228 goals and 96 assists.
Edelman went on to compare Henry with Manchester City and Belgian midfielder, Kevin de Bruyne. He said, “It’s like Kevin De Bruyne. Would you have been better to sell him for more money at the end of last year? Or keep him and risk that he’d keep going this season?” He also spoke about the skill of building a team and how the Gunners had some of the best players in the Premier League during their 'invincible years.
