Osimhen on return from the AFCON grabbed the equaliser against Barcelona to secure a 1-1 draw at home in a Round of 16 clash Wednesday night.
He is set to quit the Serie A champions this summer and Henry said he is looking forward to what the Super Eagles striker can also show either in the Premier League or PSG.
“What can he do in the Prem (Premier League) or PSG, wherever he’s going to go?,” demands the Arsenal legend, who said Osimhen needed the goal against Barcelona.
“I want to see what he can do every year.”
He said Osimhen has already showed how good he is.
“At the AFCON, he led the line, he runs into the channel, he can hold the ball, he is clever to understand,” he remarked.
“Last year, he showed what he can do, he won the African Player of the Year along the way, winning what he won with Napoli.
“To be able to win the title at Napoli after the big man did, we know who the big man is – Diego Armando Maradona.
“It is something that will stay forever in the history.”
