Arsenal skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang recently equalled Robert Pires’ tally of 85 goals in all competitions. That makes him our seventh-highest goalscorer in the Premier League era, but he’s still a long way off the top spot.
Thierry Henry leads the way with a staggering 228 goals for us. Fellow Arsenal legend Ian Wright is second on the list, followed by a number of club icons who are unknown to most fans of the modern era.

Aubameyang will most likely join the above list before he moves on.
As for the youngsters, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka have a huge chance of getting on the list if they stay at Arsenal for a long time. Young Folarin Balogun might have a chance too, which shows just how bright our future is.
As we all know, goals win games and that will eventually result in silverware. Arsenal haven’t won the big ones in a while, but with the young talent we have coming through, it’s only a matter of time.
