Robin van Persie Official Shirt
Robin van Persie is the next big thing that Arsenal FC currently have next to Dennis Bergkamp. Arsenal have really struggled to replace the Dutchman for quite a number of seasons, but in Robin van Persie they seem to have found the perfect replacement for him and the fact that van Persie is also Dutch means that comparisons are inevitable. However, Robin van Persie has more than lived up to the expectations having signed for Arsenal more than seven years ago and now he has more than 200 appearances to his name and 73 goals from those matches.
Over the years, when Persie has developed into the main striker for Arsenal and the departure of Thierry Henry only added responsibilities to his shoulder, something that he managed with aplomb. Along with Cesc Fabregas, he is one of the senior members of this young Arsenal squad and at 26 years of age, he still has plenty of football left in him.
