£20 million pounds
In 2007, Thierry Henry transferred from his beloved Arsenal to Barcelona in search of Champions League success. He had cemented himself as one of the best Premier League strikers of all time, and one of the best finishers of his generation. Barcelona would pay €24 million Euros for his services.
Even though he was getting on in his years, it was clear that he was still at his peak and would go on to bang in the goals for the Catalans in a trophy-laden spell.
Now? West Ham just paid Swansea more than £20 million pounds for Andre Ayew. He’s a good player, no doubt and has had an impressive last couple of seasons for Marseille and Swansea. But compare him with Thierry Henry and you get an idea of what I’m talking about.
