Wright joined Arsenal without any fanfare but went ahead to win a Premier League title, two FA Cup trophies, a League Cub and a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

He is currently the Arsenal’s second highest goalscorer with 185 goals.

“Remember watching the news when I signed for Arsenal, fans said ‘why we signing him’ Good luck to you Henry. I found the way to shut them up,” Wright wrote on Twitter along with a photo of Onyekuru.

Onyekuru is currently in camp with the Super Eagles of Nigeria and is expected to complete his move to Arsenal very soon.
