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.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
