Wenger sees Henry and Bergkamp in van Persie
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has described Robin van Persie as a mixture of club legends Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp.[LNB]Van Persie's double at the Emirates Stadium against rivals Tottenham means the Dutchman has seven goals from as many games, with the 26-year-old adapting quickly to his role at the top of Wenger's new 4-3-3 formation.[LNB]After Bergkamp's retirement three years ago and Henry's departure to Barcelona, Van Persie is the latest forward Gunners fans rely on for their attacking spark.[LNB]Wenger, when asked about Van Persie stepping into the boots of his predecessors, said: "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.[LNB]"He is the kind of player, with the type of game we play, who 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."
