The Wenger Goals Machine: How Arsène Wenger Built a Goalscoring Dynasty at Arsenal 2

Arsène Wenger’s 22-year reign at Arsenal was one of the most successful in the club’s history, with the Frenchman leading the Gunners to three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, and seven Community Shields. But one of the most impressive aspects of Wenger’s tenure was the sheer number of players who scored goals for the club.

No fewer than 117 players scored for Arsenal during Wenger’s time at the helm, with Thierry Henry leading the way with 228 goals. Henry’s goalscoring record is one of the most impressive in Premier League history, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time.

Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott were the other two players to score over 100 goals for Arsenal under Wenger. Van Persie was a prolific goalscorer in his own right, and his partnership with Henry in the early 2000s was one of the most feared in the Premier League. Walcott was a more versatile player, and he could play as a winger or striker. He was also a regular scorer for England, and he is still only 33 years old, so he could add to his goal tally in the years to come.
