Gary Neville's verdict on Thierry Henry and Harry Kane debate that Arsenal fans will love

Former Manchester United defender turned pundit Gary Neville has had his say on a big debate.

Arsenal and Spurs fans have been locked in discussion over strikers, namely Gunners legend Thierry Henry and current Tottenham frontman Harry Kane.

The debate is quite simply, which of the strikers is better? And Neville has weighed in on the debate with a one-word answer Arsenal fans will love.

Asked by a Tottenham fan 'Kane or Henry' the Sky Sports pundit simply tweeted back 'Henry'.

The Frenchman scored no fewer than 175 goals for the Gunners across an eight-year stint and then a short loan spell in 2012, making 258 league appearances in all.

Kane is closing in on that record, netting 136 league goals in 198 appearances.

The Spurs talisman would need 36 goals in his next 60 league outings to achieve a better record.

But, of course, the debate goes much further than goals alone, and Henry boasts an unbeaten Premier League title season, not to mention the two La Liga titles and Champions League crown he would go on to win at Barcelona.
