Trezeguet backs duo to to eclipse France great, Henry

France legend David Trezeguet says strikers Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe have the potential to be even better than France icon Thierry Henry. Henry and Trezeguet were pivotal in helping France win the 1998 World Cup that was staged in France. Mbappe and Griezmann will be hoping to win the ongoing showpiece in Russia.

Trezeguet has tipped Griezmann and Mbappe to develop into even more dangerous attackers than Arsenal icon Henry “I think Griezmann has all the quality to overcome Thierry Henry, as Mbappe has too. Because they are young, they are determinant and they are still growing as players,” he said. Mbappe eclipsed Trezeguet as France’s youngest goalscorer at a major tournament when the 19-year-old struck the winner in a 1-0 defeat of Peru.
