Arsenal new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has described Gunners icon Thierry Henry as an “example for strikers.”

The Gabonese switched to the Emirates from Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday in a deal valued at £55 million.

And while speaking on his first interview, the 28-year-old Gabon striker who signed a contract with the Arsene Wenger’s team until 2021, said Arsenal is a club with a “big history.”

“I think the club has such a big history and great players like Thierry Henry,” he told Arsena.com

“He’s an example for us strikers.”

In addition, he noted that he is  “a fast player and I score goals too, like Henry a little bit,” said Aubameyang.

“But as I said, I have to work a lot more.”

Auba scored 141 goals for Dortmund since moving there in 2013.
