He began his career with Feyenoord in 2001, before Arsene Wenger signed the player in 2004, taking him to Arsenal, where he continued to develop and better his technique and game.

In 2012, he moved to Manchester United, where he made a total of 105 appearances across all competitions for the Red Devils. After over a decade in the Premier League, the Dutchman joined Turkish club Fenerbahce in 2014 and continues to ply his trade at the club.

One of the most lethal strikers the Premier League has ever seen, Robin van Persie scored goals from everywhere, using either foot or using his head. A fantastic player, the 34-year-old also made 101 appearances for his country and was part of the Netherlands team that lost the FIFA World Cup final in 2010.
