Arsenal’s top goalscorers during Arsene Wenger’s 22-year spell at the club are the subject of a new challenge for fans. The Frenchman’s tenure, from 1996 to 2018, saw a host of prolific forwards and midfielders making their mark on the Gunners’ score sheet, but can you name the 25 players who scored the most goals under him?
Planet Football has launched a quiz asking supporters to identify these top 25 goalscorers, providing only the total number of goals each player scored for Arsenal during Wenger’s era as a clue. The quiz gives participants 10 minutes to complete the task. Those who manage to get every name right are encouraged to try an even tougher challenge: naming every player Wenger signed for Arsenal throughout his time at the club.
Wenger’s Arsenal featured several standout marksmen who became synonymous with the club’s success and style. Players like Thierry Henry, who redefined the striker role during his years in North London, and Dennis Bergkamp, whose creativity and finishing helped shape the Wenger era, are undoubtedly on the list. Others who found the net regularly include Ian Wright, a prolific scorer before Wenger’s arrival who also played under him, and Robin van Persie, whose goals were vital in Wenger’s final seasons.
The quiz taps into the collective memory of Arsenal fans and football enthusiasts to recall not just the big names but also the often-overlooked contributors who chipped in with crucial goals. This includes midfielders and defenders who occasionally found the net, reflecting Wenger’s approach to a fluid, attacking style of play.
For those interested in testing their knowledge beyond goalscorers, Planet Football offers an archive of over 1,000 football quizzes in full-screen mode through its Football Games home. The next quiz in line focuses on Wenger’s 30 most used players at Arsenal, inviting fans to explore the Frenchman’s preferred selections over more than two decades.
Fans are encouraged to share their quiz results on social media, tagging @planetfutebol to compare scores and celebrate their Arsenal knowledge. This interactive approach brings attention not just to the achievements of individual players but also to Wenger’s long-lasting impact on the club’s history.
The current quiz does not provide the list of players or their goal tallies, leaving the answers to those willing to take on the challenge. Arsenal’s top scorers under Wenger remain a defining part of his legacy, capturing a period when the club combined flair with consistent goal-scoring threats.
The quiz’s release coincides with a renewed interest in Wenger’s managerial record, as fans and analysts revisit his influence on modern football through statistics and player achievements. For now, Arsenal supporters have a fresh way to engage with the club’s history and celebrate the players who put the ball in the net most often during one of the longest managerial spells in Premier League history.
