PROFILE
The virtuoso striker became Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer - overtaking Ian Wright - when he netted twice in the Champions League tie against Sparta Prague in October 2005. The France forward's marvellous 2003/04 season fired the Gunners to the Premier League title and he also bagged a quintet of personal awards - the Overseas and Overall Player of the Season, the Premier League Golden Boot, the PFA and FWA Player of the Year awards. His combination of blistering speed and perfect control makes him almost impossible to suppress when on top form. Has won both the World Cup and European Championships with France and has become one of the most glittering stars of the game. His transformation from speedy winger to the complete forward following his move from Juventus was a masterstroke by Arsene Wenger. Voted into the Premier League Overseas Team of the Decade in the 10 Seasons Awards poll and scored his 100th Premier League goal against Southampton in February 2004. Completed a hat-trick of FWA Player of the Year accolades by picking up the 2006 award shortly before agreeing a new four-year contract with the club in May 2006.
