Arsenal Player Ratings Vs West Ham: Santi Cazorla Shines Once Again
6) Thierry Henry – 26 matches
The club’s all-time top scorer and arguably the Premier League’s greatest ever player famously took a while to find his feet in English football – and took a modest 26 games to reach double figures.
5) Dennis Bergkamp – 25 matches
The brilliant Dutch playmaker was as renowned for his creativity behind a central striker as he was for his goalscoring. He notched 87 Premier League goals in total.
4) Kanu – 22 matches
The Nigerian forward is still a cult hero at Arsenal. He arrived from Inter in 1999, and is best known for his wonderful hat-trick against Chelsea.
3) Andrey Arshavin – 21 matches
The Russian is known for being a serious Arsenal flop, but it’s easy to forget that when he first arrived in January 2009 he was virtually unplayable. Ten goals in 21 matches, from midfield, demonstrates this.
2) Alexis Sanchez – 17 matches
Sanchez is proving a snip at £35m. Not only is his work-rate incomparably good, but he creates and scores goals for fun as well. Already Arsenal’s best and most influential player.
1) Ian Wright – 14 matches
Wright was lethal for the Gunners throughout the 1990s, after arriving from Crystal Palace in 1991. He bagged 128 league goals in total, before moving to West Ham in 1998.
