Henri George Lansbury (born 12 October 1990) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Norwich City on loan from Arsenal. A product of Arsenal Academy, Henri can play across the midfield or even in goal.[3] Arsene Wenger has been so impressed with Lansbury that he even compared him to Arsenal legend Ray Parlour.

Club career

Born in Enfield, London, Lansbury grew up in Potters Bar. Lansbury has been at Arsenal since 1999, joining the club as a schoolboy from the books of Norwich City. He has featured regularly for both the club's under-18 and reserve sides.[4] He finally made his first team debut on 31 October 2007, in Arsenal's 3–0 League Cup win over Sheffield United, when he was brought on to replace Theo Walcott in the 83rd minute.[5]

He was described by Alan Smith, a former Arsenal striker, as having "huge potential".[6] On 1 July 2008 he signed his first professional contract with Arsenal.[7] He missed the second half on the 2007–08 season due to glandular fever but returned to fitness in time to participate in pre-season training and the 2008 pre-season friendly games. He has played on the right side of the field in all of these games (four times as a right winger and once as a right back) instead of in his favoured central midfield position. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger also confirmed that Lansbury would be playing in the League Cup competition in the 2008–09 season, and indeed he came on as a substitute in Arsenal's 6–0 win over Sheffield United in the third round of that competition, as well as their 3–0 win over Wigan and the quarter final away at Burnley.[8][9][10]

On 31 January 2009, Lansbury went on loan to Scunthorpe United in League One for a month.[11][12] He scored on his full debut against Swindon Town in the league,[13] plus further adding three goals during his loan campaign. Lansbury featured in the FA Youth Cup Final for Arsenal, helping them win the trophy over Liverpool, assisting Gilles Sunu on the first goal and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas on the fourth goal in the first leg 4–1 victory.[14]

On 21 August 2009, Lansbury joined Watford on loan until 31 December 2009. He scored his first goals for them with a brace against Sheffield Wednesday on 23 October 2009.[15][16]

On 31 December 2009, Lansbury signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.[17] After signing a new deal, manager Arsène Wenger said that Lansbury "will be a big player".[18] He made his Premier League debut for Arsenal on 9 May 2010 against Fulham on the last day of the season, after returning from his loan spell at Watford. Arsenal won the match 4-0. His first goal for the club came against Tottenham Hotspur in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup, on September 21 2010. Henri played the full 90 minutes and 30 minutes extra time, as the Gunners ran out 4-1 winners against their bitter North London rivals. It was a goal which he said was like a dream.[19] Lansbury later went on to be named in the Arsenal squad for their Champions League game against Shaktar Donetsk but did not make an appearance off the bench.

Wenger in his post match interview said "Henri Lansbury is a type of player who I rate because of his qualities, but as well his mental strength, the timing of his runs. He gives you qualities that are very difficult to find in the modern game.

“He goes always behind [the defence] and he has the timing to get in the box and scores goals from midfield. He is showing that again the other night when you see the cross coming in, who is on the move? It’s Henri.

“I like his attitude, his spirit, his mental strength and of course his qualities. He has not played for a while; he played with cramps until the last minute [against Spurs] and has a fantastic team attitude. I rate him and I like him.”[20]

Norwich City

On 22 November 2010, Lansbury returned to where it all began, joining Norwich City on a 28-day emergency loan deal. Lansbury was handed the number 12 shirt, he made his debut in the East Anglian Derby on Sunday 28th November and assisted the 2nd goal for Grant Holt with a excellent through ball and played a part in Norwich's 3rd and 4th goals in a 4-1 win. Manager Paul Lambert praised his display describing him as "terrific" and expects him to be a "top player" in the future.[21] he has a keen admirer at norwich Alice Miller is in love with this man although he is diyslexic
