Thierry Henry: Why Arsenal should avoid signing £156m Everton trio this summer
THIERRY HENRY believes Arsenal should think twice before looking to sign Everton's John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku.
Thierry Henry plays down moves for John Stones, Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku
The Everton trio have all been linked with moves away from Goodison Park this summer as the Toffees struggle to live up to their potential under Roberto Martinez.
Chelsea and Manchester City are thought to be interested in Stones and Barkley - both valued at £50m - while Manchester United are reportedly lining up a £56m bid for Lukaku.
And Henry has warned his former club Arsenal to avoid signing the young internationals as he doubts they have what it takes to play for a 'big club'.
"Thinking about it, I would question their consistency," Henry said when asked if Stones, Barkley and Lukaku would boost Arsenal's title push next season.

"When you play for a big club, it's not easy. Suddenly you're always playing against a team that most of the time defend really deep.
"Can Lukaku play in the last third like he would with Everton some times on the counter? It's a different story. Can Barkley run the show at Arsenal? I don't know."
