Nacho Monreal has revealed he hugely looks up to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, while explaining that Santi Cazorla is the most skillful player at the club in his opinion.

Monreal saw Henry's talents up close at Arsenal, getting a glimpse of the Frenchman before he officially hung up his boots this season, having finished his days with MLS side New York Red Bulls.




The Spanish defender is a big fan of Henry's and explained during a UEFA Q&A session that he hugely looks up to the former striker, who he feels did amazing things for the Gunners during his time at the club.

 


"It has to be Thierry Henry [who is the Arsenal legend I look up to the most].

"He did incredible things at this club and he had amazing technique."

Monreal was also asked which player in the current Arsenal squad has the most skills – and had no hesitation in naming Cazorla.

"Santi Cazorla", the Spaniard replied.

"You see him do something special every time he has the ball, in training and matches."

Monreal played alongside Cazorla at Malaga, following the Spaniard to Arsenal just six months after he made his move in the summer of 2012.

The defender linked up with the Gunners in the January 2013 transfer window.
