Van Persie: I'm Commited To Arsenal

The 24-year-old had a season to forget at the Emirates, suffering numerous injury setbacks as he and his team-mates finished the campaign trophyless.

Some have suggested that the former Feyenoord man has had enough of the Premier League and its all-action style, and will seek to leave North London in search of a less injury-riddled existence on the continent.

But the 24-year-old rubbished such claims, insisting he is in the process of extending his current deal with the Gunners, who he believes can achieve great success in the very near future.

“I’ve never thought about leaving for a less physical league like Spain,” said the Dutch international, who will travel to Switzerland for next month’s European Championship.

“I’m a committed Arsenal lad and discussing a new contract. It’s not the money which is important, it’s keeping this team together.
“Collectively we can become something very special.”
