Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has named France as his top favourite to win the World Cup this year.

He said that France have a strong team, adding that they reached the final of the last two editions of the World Cup.

Henry also named England, Spain, Argentina and Portugal as four other promising candidates to win the World Cup.

“I see France as the top contender – partly because I am French, but also because we have reached the last two finals,” Henry told Sports Illustrated.

“We have a strong team. Spain, Argentina, Portugal, and England are also promising candidates. Surprises like Norway or Senegal are possible.

“For Germany, I’m waiting for them to rediscover their best form.”
