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.”
Arsenal legend Paul Merson passes message to Mikel Arteta to place Kepa Arrizabalaga as the goalkeeper in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
In a recent interview he shared “Arsenal need to make a big decision whether to go with Kepa Arrizabalaga or David Raya in goal, Kepa has been first-choice in the Carabao Cup, and they should stick with him. It is only fair because he played well and took them to this stage”

Former Manchester City player, Joleon Lescott shares his prediction on Arsenal FC ahead of their Champions League quarter-final clash.
It can be noted that Arsenal will face Sporting CP in the quarter-finals, while FC Barcelona will take on Atlético Madrid.
“I would not say so just because of the way they defend.
“I think a more compact team like Arsenal, and with the offensive talent that they have, I think will cause Barca a lot of problems because I still think there are frailties in their defensive line.”
He shared that Arsenal has a chance of going far in the competition.
Former captain of Watford, Troy Deeney shares his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning a trophy this season.
He stated that PSG and Bayern Munich could perform better than Arsenal.

The former captain added that he does not think Arsenal are the strongest team and could struggle against top sides like PSG and Bayern Munich.
