RVP compared to club legends

Arsene Wenger sees a bit of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp in Robin Van Persie. Van Persie has enjoyed a stellar start to the season. His two goals against rivals Tottenham on Saturday took his tally to seven from as many games. The 26-year-old has also adapted quickly to his role at the top of Wenger's new 4-3-3 formation. And praise can’t come higher than being compared to two club legends. "He is a mixture. He is less of a runner than Thierry Henry and he is not completely Dennis Bergkamp because he plays higher up the pitch. He is vital because when you play the ball to his feet his first touch is always perfect and that allows others to join in. It makes everybody dangerous. In the box he is clever and intelligent," said Wenger after his side’s 3-0 win over Spurs.
