Premier League's 5 greatest players in last 25 years

#2 Thierry Henry

Henry was Premier League’s most consistent player for almost a decade, and remains the greatest player to have ever played for Arsenal. He spent almost a decade with Arsenal, and would go down as one of the most dominant players ever to have played in the Premier League.

Henry was a brilliant dribbler, and liked to cut in form the left wing to the opposition penalty box. He could play both as the main striker and the second striker. He was a very good shooter, and could score through heads and volleys as well. He won 3 Premier League titles with Arsenal, and the Onze d’Or in 2003 and 2006. Henry was Arsenal’s best player during their golden years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

He scored 175 goals in 258 league matches for the Gunners in the Premier League and was selected in Premier League’s team of the century in 2007. Henry remains the greatest non-British player to have played in the Premier League, and would walk into any all-time Premier League eleven.
