I've held off for as long as possible before getting stuck into the top goalscorer market this season, with so much transfer speculation left unresolved, but we've got to a point where I can wait no longer and there's one player that I really want to be with at the prices.

Injured for nearly all of last season, Robin van Persie's absence throughout the campaign could well have cost Arsenal the title and his return will feel like a new signing to Arsene Wenger. Brilliant on his day, he appears to have been forgotten by most and should never be double the price of his striker partner, Emmanuel Adebayor.

van Persie returned to fitness in time to play a part for Holland at Euro 2008 and with a full pre-season behind him should be raring to go.
