1. Thierry Henry

There’s no need to be clever with this. When the greatest striker to ever play for Arsenal also happens to be the greatest to ever play in the Premier League, it makes this kind of list very easy.

Nearly every mass scoring record held at Arsenal belongs to the King, and what makes it even more remarkable is he could have played even longer with the Gunners had he not been sold to Barcelona. Yet he was, in a word, unstoppable. He was the King of the Invincibles and the greatest signing Arsene Wenger has ever made.

Anyway, enough of the fluff, lets talk numbers and honors. In 369 career appearances with the Gunners, Henry banged home 226 goals. He was also a regular with assists, as the single season assist record is still held by Henry with 19.

Henry brought home two league titles and two FA Cups with Arsenal, including that brilliant 2003-4 season that will quite simply never be matched again.
