Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes he now has the best batch of attacking players since Thierry Henry's time in north London.

The Gunners boss believes his current forward options have the same potential as those who played during the French striker's time at the club

The Gunners have scored 47 Premier League goals this season, behind only Chelsea (55) and Manchester City (51), with Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil and Danny Welbeck providing 35 of those between them.

"In Cazorla and Ozil, Welbeck and Sanchez, it is a very offensive team and that means if you take one out and put Jack in it is exactly the same.

"Jack is an offensive player, someone who can turn the game forward and win the ball. And that’s his game.

"He can play wide so that means he can play on the right, on the left and in the middle, and with those positions there is fierce competition as well. But when you look at our scheduling over the next month I’m happy with that as he will get games. He is exactly the same player as he was before he was injured."
