10 Premier League strikers that proved age doesn't matter

(#3 Robin Van Persie (Manchester United))

Manchester United v Arsenal - Premier League

At £24 million, Robin Van Persie is the most expensive acquisition on the list. The 29-year-old arrived at the peak of his playing career with the final of his eight seasons at Arsenal ending with the Golden Boot after scoring 30 goals in 38 games. His first season for the Red Devils followed suit with 26 goals earning a second Golden Boot for the Dutchman as well as his first Premier League winners’ medal. He failed to match the same high expectations in the following two seasons but will forever be remembered as a Manchester United legend for his starring role in delivering a record-breaking 20th league title (surpassing the 19 titles Liverpool had won, set in 1989/90). It also signified a fitting send-off for Sir Alex Ferguson who stepped down as manager at the end of the 2012/13 campaign which coincided with the club falling down the table. They haven’t lifted the trophy since.
