Robin Van Persie
Games taken to score first Arsenal goal: 6
Goals after 5 games: 0
Like both Thierry Henry and Danny Welbeck, Robin Van Persie was regularly deployed on the wing in the early part of his career, but was honed by Arsene Wenger into a deadly striker. The Dutchman left for Manchester United in summer 2012 after scoring 132 goals in 277 appearances for the Gunners.
