Robin Van Persie is one of the most prolific goalscorers of the Premier League era.

The Dutch forward scored goals aplenty for both Arsenal and Manchester United, winning the Premier League with the latter.

He joins former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney in joining the ICON class of 22, with both available upon release.

EA have worked back through RVP's career in order to craft three ICON cards: a base, a mid and a prime.
