Adebayor says starlet can be as good as Henry
Emmanuel Adebayor has tipped Arsenal starlet Theo Walcott to be as good as Thierry Henry.
Walcott will get a run in the side following Robin van Persie's injury and he shone against Slavia Prague on Tuesday, scoring twice.
Adebayor believes the 18-year-old will one day be as great, if not better, than former Gunners striker Henry.
"Thierry has speed and Theo has speed," he said in The Sun. "At the moment you cannot say they're the same as Thierry is 29, Theo is 18.
"He's still learning but I promise you, in a few years, Theo will be up with Thierry. He may be better as he's learning very fast."
