The Brazilian international has been linked with a move to Arsenal to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah, the Gunners’ primary attacking alternatives, are out of contract in the summer.

Erling Haaland, the goal king of Borussia Dortmund, is rumoured to have agreed to join Manchester City, opening the way for Jesus to depart the Etihad.

And Henry admires the Brazilian’s brilliance, which has resulted in five goals in his last two appearances.

“What he can give offensively to the team,’’ Henry said on CBS Sports.

“We saw that he scored four goals at the weekend [against Watford]. When he is in the box, he’s one of the three that is playing, or since Aguero left, he has that nine instinct. He has what the number nine would smell.

“What I like about him is that when he puts pressure, whether it’s on the left, on the right or in the middle, he doesn’t have a problem defending in these situations by coming back and helping his team.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
