Having impressed in the French national
team's triumph in the 1998 World Cup, Henry left Monaco and
moved to Italian club
Juventus in January 1999 for £14 million. There, he was made to
play on the wing, and in an unfamiliar position was unable to
cope with Italian defensive discipline, scoring just three goals
while starting only 12 games for the Bianconeri.
Unsettled in Italy, he transferred from Juventus in August 1999
to Arsenal for £10.5 million, reuniting with his former
mentor, Wenger. |
