Such has been the size of Henry's contribution to Arsenal's surge toward the championship, that manager Arsene Wenger has labelled him the best striker in the world.

Few teams have been able to develop a game plan to keep him quiet. Play the offside trap and his pace will find a way to beat it. Drop off too deep and he has room to dribble, as he showed in a wonder goal against Liverpool in April.

Even if he doesn't score, Henry has the ability to set up one of his teammates, making him an all-round danger.
