Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has tipped his former club to recapture the Premier League title.

The Gunners have not won English football's biggest prize since 2005, but Barcelona striker Henry believes the north Londoners can turn on the style to win the title.

The Frenchman's quotes may seem a little strange give Arsene Wenger has lost key midfielders Mathieu Flamini and Alex Hleb this summer, but Henry is convinced Arsenal can rival Manchester united and Chelsea again this season.

“Last year I said Arsenal would win something and people laughed at me,” the Frenchman is quoted in The Sun.

“They laughed even more when they finished the season with nothing but how many people fell in love with their football?

“At the start of the season everyone wrote them off. A couple of months in and everyone was saying, ‘Wow, Arsenal play some great football’.

“They were the team everyone loved to watch and rightly so because they played great stuff.

“I don’t know what it is about the club but they always seem to produce something special. They always seem to be able to inspire players.

“I still think they can win something.”
