Robin van Persie was very much an unknown quantity when he signed for Arsenal at the end of the 2003/04 season.
Bought for just £3million from Feyenoord Rotterdam, Van Persie has proved to be one of the steals of recent years and claims he could become the ‘new Bergkamp’ may not be wide of the mark.
His skill on the ball, burst of pace and eye for goal have made him an important part of the Gunners’ armoury.
