Arsenal stats: Players with 10+ goals and assists in a Premier League season

Arsenal have been an ever-present member of the Premier League, with the club always been regarded as a team to watch. They have frequently fought for supremacy at the top of the table and have been deemed as one of the most feared teams. Much of that success must be attributed to former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who was instrumental in the club’s accomplishments. Along the way, the club has seen a number of players make a name for themselves through outstanding individual performances.

It is some of those players who will be analysed in depth in this article.  There aren’t many players who have scored and created a significant number of goals in a single season. However, Arsenal have indeed been blessed with a number of players who have managed to do both. Given that the club has produced several legendary players, it is not surprising that some of the most well-known names appear on this list.

Big names dominate the list

The most notable ones are the presence of Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp. These two legendary names have managed to produce 10+ goals and 10+ assists twice in the Premier League era. Bergkamp did it consecutively from 1997 to 1999 seasons. Former French legend Henry has also done it twice in 2002-03 and 2004-05 campaigns. With both players being praised extensively during their playing days, it is not a surprise to see them being part of such illustrious list.

There are other similar big performances that have been witnessed at the Emirates Stadium with the next generation stars. Post-Henry era, Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas carried the responsibilities on their shoulders and have delivered several memorable performances during their stay with the Gunners. Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott also find a place in this prestigious list. Walcott, known for his blistering pace, has been unstoppable in his prime. Meanwhile, Cazorla is known for his sublime skills and silky touches on the pitch.

Bukayo Saka latest name on the list

The latest generation of Arsenal fans will remember the mesmerising season of Alexis Sanchez. During the 2016-17 campaign, Sanchez was simply sensational. Coming inside from the left flank, he was a defender’s nightmare. He was effective with both scoring and creating chances for his teammates. The latest addition to this illustrious list is young winger Bukayo Saka. The English international has been unstoppable in the right wing this campaign. With still a good number of games left in the Premier League season, Saka’s tally of 12 goals and ten assists is remarkable.
