Arsenal are reportedly in the mix to sign Abdallah Sima, a player already being dubbed the new Thierry Henry, but his manager has struggled to sum up it seems.

Calciomercato claims that Arsenal have been keeping a close eye on Sima, who currently plays his football with Slavia Prague.

The young forward has six goals in as many games this term and already looks like being a player who is going to go on and have success at a higher level than than Slavia.

But following a fine performance earlier in this campaign, his current boss, Jindrich Tripsovsky, struggled to find words to fully describe the impressive Sima.

“I jokingly said in the locker room that we’d have to sit him on a bench for a month to keep us on the team at all in the spring. I can’t even honestly assess where his performance cap is, and I can’t even say what he gets it wrong on the pitch. It’s an incredibly complex player,” Tripsovsky said. (NewsBeezer)

Sima has already drawn comparisons to Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry. His pace, power, and finishing have led people to come up with thos conclusions.

Arsenal are said to be scouting the 19-year-old, although no reports of any sort of bid are forthcoming as yet.

The assessment from the Prague boss here does seem pretty accurate. Of course, not much is known about Sima to most English fans but if you do look at his goals and overall game, he has moments of brilliance followed by moments that baffle.

However, the talent and potential is there and it’s little wonder Arsenal are keeping their eye firmly cast on such a prestigious young player.
