Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has said that Kylian Mbappe must learn to put the team first with the young forward pushing for a move away from Paris Saint-Germain.
It’s only been four months since Mbappe turned down a move to Real Madrid to stay in the French capital to sign a new contract, however his relationship with PSG is thought to have reached a new low, with the 23-year-old pushing for a move away in January.

The France international believes that promises that were made to him when he signed the new contract, have not been kept. He was told that the club would bring in a number 9, enabling himself to play in a different preferred position.
Henry found himself in a similar situation when hew was at Barcelona and he insisted that Mbappe must learn to fall in line.
Henry regarding Mbappé:
"I will use my own story. I didn't like to play out wide for Barça. I hated it! But I did it for the team. There is one rule: if the boss asks you to do something, you do it, IF it's good for the team! If it's bad for the team, I would get the argument." pic.twitter.com/hZcUNa4GWp

“We know he doesn’t like it. No one likes to be exposed to what you are not good at,” Henry told CBS sport.
“Did they make him feel like the club was the most important thing or did they make him feel like he was more important than the club?
“I will use my own stories, I didn’t like to play high and wide at Barcelona. I hated it. But I had to do it for the team. I didn’t like that after 100 caps and I don’t know how many goals I scored for France, I had to go and play on the left.
“I didn’t hear anyone say ‘oh what a nice gesture to go and play on the left.’ But at one point, I remembered there is only one rule, the boss is asking you to do something. You do it for the good of the team. And your team is winning. If your team is losing, I would have understood the argument.”
