Griezmann, Mbappe can eclipse Henry, claims Trezeguet

Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe have the potential to be even better than France icon Thierry Henry, says David Trezeguet.

Henry and Trezeguet were part of the France squad that led the country to World Cup success on home soil in 1998.

But with France seeking to go one step better at Russia 2018 after defeat in the Euro 2016 final to Portugal, Trezeguet has tipped Griezmann and Mbappe to develop into even more dangerous attackers than Arsenal icon Henry – Les Bleus’ record scorer.

“I think Griezmann has all the quality to overcome Thierry Henry, as Mbappe has too,” Trezeguet said.

“Because they are young, they are determinant and they are still growing as players.”
