He hit double figures in every season with The Blues, remembering 23 goals for every one of his initial two at the club.

 as well. It was during his last two campaigns with the Gunners and first term with Red Devils where RVP was at his greatest form with scoring 74 goals in only 101 matches. He won two PL Golden Boot prize and a PFA Player Of The Year award. Robin Van Persie finished his PL career with an extraordinary average of 0.51 goals per match.

The now-resigned Dutch deadly striker scored innumerable goals with that amazing left foot. There weren't numerous center-backs equipped for taking care of business. 

In the wake of taking over Thierry Henry's honored position as the King of Arsenal, in any case, in 2012 Van Persie made a stunning €30m move to United. 

Be that as it may, joining 

 gave him a league title.

Van Persie's PL record of 96 goals in 194 appearances for the Gunners was essentially magnificent, and he kept that form even with Red Devils as he made sure about a second back to back Golden Boot prize. 

Between 2006/07 and 2014/15, Van Persie hit double figures in 7 out of 9 campaigns. 

It is difficult taking over from Thierry Henry as your club's primary striker, yet Robin van Persie did as great as possible.

One of the PL's

greatest footballers of all time

, Thiery Henry was relentless during his days with the Gunners. 

Under Arsene Wenger, the Frenchman progressed from a winger into one of the world's most noteworthy strikers. Opponents frequently disintegrated against his skills. He scored 177 goals in 258 appearances. Prior to 

's accomplishment as the best goal scorer ever, Henry's record as the league's foreign top-scorer appeared to be indomitable. 

All things considered, nothing will ever remove the Arsenal legend's positioning in Premier League.

Thierry was far beyond only a goal machine be that as it may his general skills were obviously fit to what Arsene Wenger was attempting to accomplish at the club. Dennis Bergkamp was his ideal partner. Henry is the first player to score more than 20 goals in 5 back to back campaigns. Henry made his best ever in the Premier League campaign with 30 goals netted during the 2003/2004 term where 

went the entire league undefeated. Henry had a momentous average of 0.69 goals per match during his time in England.

Thierry Henry's wonderful record of 177 PL goals appeared as though one which would stand for years.

The 31-year old striker set the pace for what might come in his first PL match against Swansea and has seldom if at any time, had a genuine goal drought through the decade. His general record is fundamentally the same as Henry's and he really rose to Henry's record of 5 back to back 20+ goal campaigns.

The 

international has so far netted 16 goals in the 2019/2020 season and, with 4 additional goals could turn into the footballer to register 20+ in 6 back to back campaigns. While he hopes to have solidified his place at the highest point of the foreign scorer's list for a long while to come, Aguero will have one eye on turning into the outright best goal scorer without a doubt. 

He is presently just 80 goals behind Alan Shearer and just 28 behind second spot 

. He scored an average of 0.70 goals per match up until this point. 

Following a time of staggering accomplishments with Man City, the 31-year old forward really established his PL heritage by breaking 2 records in a single day by turning into the top-scoring with most hat-tricks foreign footballer.
