Marc Overmars is one of the most prolific goalscoring Arsenal wingers in Premier League history. The Dutchman amassed 25 league goals for the Gunners in only three seasons at the club.

Overmars made a flying start to life in the Premier League, scoring 12 times and registering five assists in his first campaign in the competition in 1997-98. The following season, the Dutchman made 19 goal contributions (six goals and 13 assists), helping the Gunners win their second Premier League title.

The 48-year-old went on to play for four seasons at Barcelona after leaving Arsenal before retiring at Dutch club Go Ahead Eagles in 2008-09.


# Centre-forward - Thierry Henry (175 goals)

Thierry Henry is one of the greatest centre-forwards to have graced the Premier League. Originally a winger, Henry was converted into a centre-forward by then Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, and the rest is history.

The Frenchman scored a rich haul of 175 Premier League goals, scoring all but one of those goals in eight consecutive seasons with the Gunners. Henry was a quintessential goal-poacher, plundering at least 17 Premier League goals in his first seven campaigns in the competition.

A 2021 Premier League Hall of Fame inductee, Henry won two Premier League titles and a record four Golden Boots (three of them consecutively).

It's perhaps unsurprising that Henry was Arsenal's star performer in their historic 2003-04 Invincibles triumph, scoring 30 goals. After winning a continental treble with Barcelona, Henry returned for a short stint with the Gunners in 2011-12, scoring once.


# Right Winger - Theo Walcott (65 goals)

Theo Walcott is Arsenal's most prolific goalscoring winger in the Premier League.

Once touted as a Thierry Henry in the making, Walcott never reached those exalted heights. But he enjoyed a decent stint with the Gunners, racking up over 100 goals across competitions, including 65 in the Premier League.

Walcott's most prolific Premier League campaign with Arsenal saw him score 14 times in the 2012-13 season. Now at Southampton, the 32-year-old has scored just three Premier League goals for them in 24 appearances across two seasons.
