Micah Richards has jokingly taunted Thierry Henry by suggesting that Kylian Mbappe possesses a greater sense of mystique than the legendary Arsenal player. However, Richards stressed the importance of Mbappe leaving Paris Saint-Germain. The 25-year-old forward is nearing the end of his contract with the Ligue 1 side, and there are rumors of a potential move to Real Madrid this summer. Recent reports have also hinted at Mbappe’s openness to considering a transfer to Arsenal, given the uncertainties surrounding offers from the LaLiga club. Meanwhile, Henry is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Premier League history, having scored 228 goals in 377 appearances for the Gunners. Like Mbappe, he also won the World Cup with France and is admired for his exceptional talent and composure as a striker. However, Richards suggested that Mbappe may possess a certain flamboyance that surpasses even the esteemed French icon. The former Manchester City star made these comments during a live broadcast with CBS Sports. “Honestly, when I look at him [Mbappe], his presence, he’s just… he reminds me of a young Titi [Henry]. He really does. But I think he has a little something extra…” The former Manchester City defender has previously shared an anecdote about a moment when Henry outmaneuvered him, recalling how the Frenchman “winked” at him after executing a skillful pass between his legs. On the other hand, Mbappe initially joined PSG from Monaco on loan in 2017. Since then, he has scored an impressive total of 242 goals in 289 matches. Despite his remarkable accomplishments, he has yet to win the Champions League with the club.
