 During his time at Inter Milan , Bergkamp was switched to the position of a main striker , but failed to cooperate with his offensive partner Ruben Sosa , whom he later called " selfish " . Furthermore , due to his introverted character , he was accused of lacking consistency and leadership skills by the Italian press , and struggled to replicate his previous form during his time with Inter . When Bergkamp joined Arsenal in 1995 , he enjoyed a successful strike partnership with Wright , and in later seasons Anelka and Henry , playing in his preferred position as a creative second striker . The arrival of Overmars in the 1997 – 98 season enhanced Bergkamp 's play , as he was getting more of the ball . Between August and October 1997 , he scored seven goals in seven league matches . A similar rapport developed between him and Ljungberg during the 2001 – 02 season .
