Henry happy with van Persie

Returning captain Thierry Henry said that he's happy with the progress shown by Robin van Persie.

The Frenchman praised van Persie's hot scoring form and said that the Dutch striker's hard work in training has paid off.

van Persie has scored 12 goals so far this season and has more or less been a permanent fixture in manager Arsène Wenger's team this season.

Henry said: "He's shown ever since he arrived here that he is a scorer of great goals.

"He's done it this season but also in previous years - every goal he scores is a smashing one.

"He has the ability to be one of the best players in the league. He has matured a lot and he does stuff in training that I have rarely seen before."
