"I’d like to thank Thierry Henry - maybe he’s going to see this - for all the advice that he gave me, and I hope that this is only the start."

The Inter Milan forward then confirmed that he speaks more to Henry than his famous father, Lilian Thuram, saying:

"He's like my best uncle; he's the uncle that's here for me, to help me in good moments and bad moments. He always tells me the truth; today, I'd like to take the time to thank him because if I'm here, it's because of him. "

Henry will no doubt be proud of Thuram's performance for Inter Milan after joining the club on a free transfer this season.

He stepped up big time following Romelu Lukaku's and Edin Dzeko's departures, scoring 12 goals and dishing out seven assists in Serie A this season, per the BBC.

His biggest goal of the season came on Monday when Inter faced AC Milan at the San Siro. They knew that a victory over Milan would give them a 17-point lead at the top of the table and secure the Scudetto for the first time since 2021.

Thuram helped make that a reality, scoring Inter's second goal in the 49th minute.
