Robin van Persie is one of the greatest Premier League strikers of all-time. The Dutch international joined Arsenal in 2004 and played 194 Premier League game for the Gunners.

He has scored 132 goals in all competitions for Arsenal and turned into a lethal striker under Arsene Wenger. However, he left Arsenal in 2012 and joined one of their rivals, Manchester United.

To add insult to injury, Van Persie lifted the Premier League title in his first season at Old Trafford. Arsene Wenger missed him badly and was never able to replace him on a long-term.

Though Olivier Giroud and Alexandre Lacazette arrived at the club after his departure, none of them was able to match his goalscoring and match-winning abilities.
