Wenger reveals Bergkamp's successorArsene Wenger believes striker Dennis Bergkamp's influence is finally beginning to have the desired effect on Robin van Persie.
The Arsenal boss believes van Persie has the potential to become as good as the legendary Dutchman, whom he's labelled a 'genius'.
Wenger said: "The best thing when you have Dennis in front of you is to watch what he does and try to copy it,
"Dennis speaks to him and it is very important for every player to have a role model. He can't have a better one.
"At some stage, you have to replace Dennis. Robin still has some work to do as Dennis is a genius but I feel he has the potential to play for Arsenal.
"Will he be as good as Dennis? That is down to him. He has the ingredients. The biggest part is to do it."
