His displays have also put Leipzig on the cusp of their first European final. Indeed, Leipzig defeated Rangers 1-0 in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash on Thursday. His upturn in form this season has been nothing short of spectacular. The 24-year-old had never scored 10 goals in a season before the current campaign, though he did provide 15 Bundesliga assists two seasons ago.

Now, Arsenal legend Henry has given his compatriot some much-deserved praise. “Yes I do love watching him,” he told CBS Sports. Nkunku’s goals output has improved a lot this season, something Henry applauded him for. “Goals and assists. He is just having fun this season. But he is adding goals this year,” he continued.
