WINGERS TURNED STRIKERS IN THEE PREMIER LEAGUE

THIERRY HENRY, ARSENAL

A winger who had struggled to make an impact in Serie A. Arsene Wenger moved him inside but after failing to score in his first seven games, Henry wanted to go wide again. But he went on to net 226 goals in 369 games.

CRISTIANO RONALDO, MAN UNITED

The teenage Ronaldo was a provider rather than a finisher, and scored just 32 goals in his first 168 games. But his final 156 games at United bought 91 goals and at Real Madrid he scored at more than a goal per game in 438 appearances in nine seasons.

MICHAIL ANTONIO, WEST HAM

A winger at Nottingham Forest, Antonio had a nose for goal, but the Hammers used him everywhere – even at rightback. But David Moyes moved him up front and the goals have flowed – eight goals in the final seven games of last season and three in six this term.
