Club icon Thierry Henry is of the opinion that the long-awaited Champions League qualification should be brought home by Arsenal.

Thierry Henry has sent a warning to Arsenal regarding their top-four finish in the Premier League during this 2021-22 season.

The Gunners fought hard with 10 men for their 1-0 win against Wolves last time out. At the same time, their rivals West Ham, Tottenham, and Manchester United missed out on claiming crucial points.

Later on Tuesday, the Red Devils moved to the fourth spot following their 2-0 win over Brighton. However, Arsenal lack only four points and have an upper hand with three more games to play over arch enemies from Old Trafford.

In spite of this, club legend Henry feels that if they fail to produce a top-four spot by the end of the season, it would be a huge disappointment.

Henry also believes that European qualification is required for Mikel Arteta’s side as he spoke with CBS Sports.

He said: “The best thing about Arsenal is that they didn’t play. West Ham didn’t take advantage of it. Tottenham has never taken advantage of it.”

“But Arsenal had to go and win at Wolves. That was a massive win, so there are still a lot of games to go. For me, if they don’t do it, as I said at the start of the season, then it will be a failure.”
