Arsenal star won’t follow Henry to Spain
Robin van Persie insists he has no intention of quitting Arsenal Football Club.
The 26-year-old Dutch international, currently sidelined through injury, has become a key player for Arsene Wenger’s side since moving from Feyenoord in the summer of 2004.
Indeed, some believe the Gunners would not be trailing Chelsea by such a margin as six points had he not picked up his ankle injury which is set to rule him out for the rest of the season.
A number of clubs, including Real Madrid and Highbury legend Thierry Henry’s Barcelona, have been linked with van Persie, but he insists his future remains in North London.
"Even if you want to leave, as a player, I don't think it is easy because when you move to Arsenal you are led there by your heart,” he told the News of the World.
