According to the BBC, Yorke, who has joined Arsenal, said in an interview that after taking over the No. 14 jersey of the club's top scorer Henry, he just wants to "focus on doing his own thing."

When asked about Henry's legendary number, Yorke said: "I certainly know this history (Henry's). To be honest, there are not many optional numbers, and there is a limited range of choices. However, this number is indeed available, so I chose it without hesitation after learning it.

"How to say, I had no intention of being compared to his career achievements, especially here. I just want to focus on doing my own thing and show my personal abilities. He is a legendary star, but I am different from him. I just want to do my best to walk my own path. ”
