JAKARTA - Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, said he believed the Gunners should win trophies under Mikel Arteta. However, he stressed that he was not disappointed with the progress of the club in recent years.
"I'm not saying I'm disappointed with Arsenal, but it's natural that people now question what the team is doing."
"I understand that at first you came and it wasn't your team. You need at least three or four transfer windows to change everything you want."
"It takes time and you have to give the manager time to be able to implement what he wants to do."

"Over the past three years, Arsenal have been in a situation where they should have at least brought one trophy or (achieved) the final," Henry told the Stick to Football podcast.
Henry further compared Arsenal and Manchester United's performances. The former France National Team player thinks the Red Devils are much better despite a setback in the Premier League.
"Manchester United has played in five finals in the last five years. In fact, Manchester United have laughed at everyone. Meanwhile, Arsenal have in the last three years of development, but they haven't reached the final."
"So, I understand when people ask that Arsenal have to compete for trophies," said Henry.
Arsenal have finished second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, even as they won 89 points in 2023/2024 - a fact Arteta wanted to show when asked about the club's lack of trophies.
The north London club has also reached the Carabao Cup and Champions League semifinals this season -- their furthest achievement in European tournaments since 2009.
