Mikel Obi Names Thierry Henry as Premier League’s Greatest Player
Former Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi has named Thierry Henry as the greatest player in Premier League history, putting the Arsenal legend at the top of his list.
Mikel Obi, who played alongside legends like Lampard, Drogba, and Terry during his time at Chelsea, doesn’t believe Salah has done enough to be named the greatest.
Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Mikel said, “Numbers-wise, you can put Salah in the conversation, but when you talk about a complete player, you can’t put him in that conversation.”
Mikel, who’s close friends with Salah, praised the winger’s growth over the years. “I’m a huge fan of Salah; I’ve known him since our Chelsea days. He’s a different player now—mentally and physically stronger, and more confident.”
But for Mikel, there’s one player who stands above all: “The best player to have played in the Premier League is Thierry Henry,” he said. “For two to three years, he completely dominated the league. He had everything—fantastic on the ball, fast, skilled—he was phenomenal.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
