Henry: The Gunners signed Sterling when they needed a striker; I like Alvarez very much

May 28th Arsenal legend Henry talked about the team's forward issue in an interview recently. He also revealed that the forward he admires most is Argentine international and Atletico Madrid star Alvarez.

Henry said: "If you look at the Gunners' lineup and the injury list, the coach actually brought in some players. But when everyone called on Arsenal to sign a center, the coach bought Sterling. He had time to find a real center. I am not the coach of the team and I can't know the specific situation they discussed. As long as you don't win the game, everyone will say you should sign a center. And when they beat Real Madrid, it seems that there is no need.

"One of my favorite centers at the moment is Alvarez, and we have been talking about his performance. Whether it is frontcourt compression, singles or low post defense, Alvarez is competent, and he can still control the ball by himself. Did you see him scoring a free kick from the other day?

"Alvarez also participated in the Olympics and the Copa America, but I have never heard him say 'I'm tired'. Alvarez participated in almost all the games, I hope everything goes well, I really like how he plays."
