Former Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has snubbed Thierry Henry thereby naming Robin van Persie as the better finisher at the Premier League giants years back.
Thierry Henry remains Arsenal's highest goalscorer in history and was one of the best strikers in the history of the Premier League.
The Frenchman was a joy to watch during his active playing time for Arsenal in the Premier League and also in the French national senior team.
Henry's superb performances years back steered Arsenal to the final of the Champions League in Paris before the Gunners then under coach Wenger lost against Barcelona.
Despite netting 226 goals for Arsenal compared to Robin Van Persie who scored 132, Theo Walcott stated clearly that the Dutchman was his best teammate.
According to the report on UK Sun, the Everton star explained that Robin Van Persie was doing things differently at Arsenal when he was with the side.
"I remember one season I set up around 14 of Van Persie's 30-odd goals.
"For me, two of them in a team with me as well, was one of the best [teams]. That's including England. My greatest team-mate would have to be Van Persie.
"For me, he was the best finisher I've ever seen, he was better than Thierry Henry, he made it look so easy.''
Meanwhile, Thierry Henry won four trophies at Arsenal while Robin Ver Persie was able to win two titles.
