The Frenchman’s goalscoring record has been criticised at times, but he adds a lot to the team through his buildup play.

9) Thierry Henry, 28 games

Arsenal’s all time top scorer took a while to get going, but this was mainly because he started off his career playing on the wing.

8) Dennis Bergkamp, 26 games

One of the most talented players to have ever pulled on the Gunners jersey, the Dutchman wasn’t in the team for just his goals.

7) Lukas Podolski, 26 games

The German international has a great goals to minutes ratio for the North London club.

6) Jose Antonio Reyes, 26 games

Now back at his original club Sevilla, the Spaniard played for the Gunners for three seasons.

Still well loved at the Emirates, the Nigerian scored 43 goals in 197 appearances for Arsenal.

4) Marouane Chamakh, 21 games

Now at Crystal Palace and the butt of many jokes, Chamakh actually made an impressive start to his time in the Premier League.

3) Eduardo da Silva, 19 games

Before his horrific leg break Eduardo had made a great start to his time at the Emirates. He is now at Flamengo in Brazil.
