Arsenal: 15 Greatest Strikers Of All Time

2. Dennis Bergkamp

Bruce Rioch may not have lasted at Arsenal long, but he can always hang his hat on the signing of Dennis Bergkamp. It was thanks to him that this club legend existed and we are eternally grateful.

Bergkamp was a magician with the ball and what struck me the most about his talent is the way he went from primary target man to an almost set-up man when Thierry Henry arrived. Rather then see a dip in individual performance, he seemed to thrive even more under the new challenges.

He’s the primary example of a big signing done right. Bergkamp was a big name in the world of football and Rioch paid a big price for him, but it couldn’t have worked out better.

He helped the Gunners to three Premier League titles and three FA Cups, one of which was a double. It was the glory days of Arsenal, where every year seemed to end in some sort of trophy.

All in all, Bergkamp registered 120 goals in 423 appearances, a tally that is somewhat deadened by his transformation to a second striker, where he served as the set-up man to Thierry Henry, a role that he mastered in no time.

Bergkamp has a statue outside of the Emirates for a reason. There are simply none better at what he did.
