39 Henri Lansbury

Name- Henri Lansbury
Born- October 12, 1990, Enfield
Position- Midfielder
Arsenal Debut- Sheffield United (a)
Carling Cup 4th Round
October 31, 2007,
Won 3-0

Henri has been at the Club since he was nine-years-old and is one of the longest-serving players in the academy.
The tenacious midfielder is one of Arsenal's brightest prospects and made six appearances for the Reserves last season despite still being a schoolboy. He also made 17 appearances for the Under-18s and spent time training with Arsène Wenger’s first team. Henri must have impressed the Frenchman as he was handed his first-team debut in the 2-0 friendly win over Barnet in July.
The youngster is an England youth international and was a key player in the Three Lions’ run to the Uefa Under-17 Championship Final in May. Unfortunately Henri missed the showpiece, which England lost to Spain, after picking up an injury in the Semi-Final against France.
