"Yes, [Henry] gives him advice. It's always important. Theo is a very intelligent boy. He understands very quickly when you tell him something and that's why I think he can do very well in this position," Wenger told the club's Web site.
"He has played two games [through the middle] and you have to be open-minded in our job and give people a chance. If they take it, it's good. If [not], he will still be a fantastic winger so it puts some more assets in his game. He will learn something in his position and I am confident he will do well in that position," the manager added.
"He is now 23. I decided to play Henry at 23 through the middle because you have to learn a lot before. The fact that you play in other positions as well helps your technique. On the wing you need a shorter technique against the line. Once you [then] play in the middle you can go on both sides. From [the ages of] 19 to 23, Theo has learnt a lot. Now we will sometimes play him on the flanks and sometimes through the middle. I like what I have seen through the middle," the manager said.
