Emmanuel Adebayor has tweeted a tribute to Thierry Henry from his home in Togo, where he’s returned on a break for personal reasons.

Adebayor and Henry spent a season and a half together at Arsenal, Adebayor arriving in January 2006, with Henry leaving for Barcelona in June 2007.

There had been signs of a budding partnership and on-field chemistry, but it never really had time to take hold.

All the same, Adebayor retains fond memories of his time with Henry, and says he feels ‘privileged’ to have played in the same team as him.
