Sports Mole provides the list of Arsenal's top 10 goalscorers of all time.

One of Arsene Wenger's favourite sons, Thierry Henry, comfortably sits atop the Arsenal goalscoring charts, netting over 200 strikes for the club in his first spell before adding another couple during a brief 2012 loan.

A plethora of other celebrated names have hit the 100-mark for the North London giants, some who are still held in high regard by Gooners, and one who is no longer adored by the Emirates faithful.

Here, Sports Mole provides the list of Arsenal's top 10 goalscorers of all time.
