Jimbo flicks through the Totally Almanac once again and lands in 1995 with a signing that transformed both Arsenal and the Premier League, Dennis Bergkamp.

He is joined by Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and ex-teammate of the so called 'Iceman', Adrian Clarke to look back at one of the most technically gifted players ever to play in the English top flight.

From so many memorable and impossible goals, to perfect pinpoint assists but also the lesser mentioned tougher side and grit, why isn't he considered one of the very greatest?

Plus your questions and a tough Dutch themed quiz from Duncan.

Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones.

In Serie A, Juventus and Milan played out a goalless draw, allowing Napoli to take advantage and take back top spot after their come from behind 2-1 win over Genoa - courtesy of a late winner from Rasmus Hojlund no less.

Over in La Liga, Barcelona were handed their heaviest defeat in over a decade after their shock 4-1 beating at the hands of Sevilla. Real got back to winning ways and back in first position after a Vini brace guided them to a 3-1 win over Villarreal.

In Ligue 1, it’s awfully tight at the top after PSG were held to a 1-1 draw by Lille, with an Mbappe on the scoresheet… Marseille, Strasbourg and Lyon all sit just a point behind in what’s shaping up to be an exciting start to the season.

And in Germany, you guessed it - Harry Kane’s broken another record! Bayern have won each of their first 10 competitive matches this season, with their number 9 becoming the first player in history to score 11 goals in the first six games of a Bundesliga season.
