His goal scoring record is as good if not better in England compared to time played. It's much better comparing to the way he was used at Wolfsburg where he was the main player and one you look for when you get the ball.
His overall game is not on same level though, strange stuff.
In the Bundesliga
111 matches, 66 goals, 28 assists, 8957 minutes played
0.59 goals per match, 0.85 scorerpoints per match
a goal every 131 minutes, a scorerpoint every 93 minutes
In the Premier League
70 matches, 28 goals, 12 assists, 3713 minutes played
0.4 goals per match, 0.57 scorerpoints per match
a goal every 132 minutes, a scorerpoint every 93 minutes
In the Bundesliga he only was subbed 15 times and came into the match 9 times. Whereas in the EPL he already got subbed 34 times and came into the match 13 times.
I do not think that his numbers now are worse - especially if you take in mind that he seldom plays a whole match and often gets substituted. When you e.g. see that he scored 33 of his 66 goals in the Bundesliga after the 60th minute - 20 after minute 75 - and he usually started - that might have an influence, too.

Why do I always read the misconception that it is good for a forward to have Robben on the wing? He ain't really the one that provides.
He spreads the field makes space on top of the box.
