Arsenal to unveil statue of club legend Dennis Bergkamp later this month

Arsenal have announced that they will honor club legend Dennis Bergkamp with a statue outside of Emirates Stadium, with the unveiling set to take place on February 22 when the Gunners host Sunderland.

The club made the announcement on its official website, sending out a press release with all of the details.

Here's part of what it had to say:

Further to last year’s announcement that the Club was to commemorate the Dutch striker’s huge contribution, the statue has now been completed and an area above The Armoury store outside Emirates Stadium has been identified for the statue’s location.

Bergkamp arrived in London from Inter Milan in 1995, and spent 11 trophy-laden years with Arsenal.

Making 423 appearances in that time, the Dutchman's 120 goals were vital in helping the club capture seven major trophies, including the Premier League title in 2003-04 that saw the team go undefeated.

Of those 120 tallies, who could forget this one:

Bergkamp's statue will stand alongside those of fellow club icons Herbert Chapman, Tony Adams and Thierry Henry, which were unveiled in December of 2011.
