Thierry Henry’s retro Arsenal shirt on sale for £40 – but real version is £999

Thierry Henry received even more love from his already adoring supporters on Sunday, as he was spotted in a retro Arsenal shirt overlooking the 3-1 win over Tottenham at the Emirates.

Arsenal's all-time top scorer was seen wearing a retro shirt from 1992, when Ian Wright was firing in the goals at Highbury before Henry succeeded the former England international.

Even though Henry's playing days are over, the Frenchman continues to be very passionate about Arsenal, which was demonstrated on Sunday as he wore the shirt despite being surrounded by suits in a very exclusive area of the Emirates.

However, some eagle eyed viewers have identified Henry's shirt as a cheaper replica, rather than a genuine version.

Fans noticed that there was no Adidas logo above the Arsenal badge, meaning that the shirt was an unbranded replica, costing around £40 from the club website as opposed to the genuine version – which can currently be found online for £999.

There have been theories drawn up as to why this was the case, with the Telegraph even suggesting that Henry may have removed it due to his affiliation with other sporting brands.

However, it's probably likely that Henry just acquired a cheaper version through the club themselves, as Arsenal offer more affordable replica's in the retro section of their merchandise.

Either way, Arsenal fans won't be too disappointed to see such a sight, and will be even happier about the fact that Henry was spotted with Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who is worth an estimated $3.9bn (£2.9bn) and has shown interest in buying the club.

Henry has fully backed the takeover proposal from Ek to succeed the Kroenke family, who aren't the most popular amongst the club's supporters, but their summer spend of £150m may suggest that they aren't planning on handing over the club anytime soon.
