Thierry Henry admits it is painful to see his former club’s recent demise.
The Gunners finished eighth in the Premier League this season and 25 points behind champions Manchester City.
Henry admits that his former club is nowhere near challenging for the Premier League title next season.
Henry told beIN SPORTS: ‘I don’t like to compare eras, people do and I understand that, it’s a different generation, a different time, different technology, they have different views of the game, different preparations and different ways.
‘The team hasn’t been successful recently, obviously winning cups along the way, but nowhere near the level of trying to compete for the title.
‘But you can say the same for a lot of teams. You see Liverpool wait 30 years to win the title, it takes time, even for great teams.
‘So hopefully Arsenal can come back and compete, because at the end of the day there’s only going to be one winner, but at least try and compete.’
