Arsenal begin life without Robin van Persie

Arsenal are preparing for life without Robin van Persie as their latest online catalogue does not even feature him, The Sun (https://bit.ly/NAbgPa) reported in an exclusive.

The Gunners captain returned to training at the Emirates on Monday although he has not changed his chance of quitting.

Now the £30 million-rated Dutch striker is demanding fresh talks with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and chief executive Ivan Gazidis, the report added.
 
Van Persie, 28, wants his future sorted out before the squad leave for a Far East tour on Saturday.
 
An Arsenal spokesman told The Sun: “Robin returned to training on Monday as expected and made it clear he wants to sit down and resolve the matter of his future, either way, as soon as possible.
 
“No date has yet been agreed for that meeting.”

Van Persie, who has a year left on his Arsenal deal, is being wooed by Manchester rivals United and City.
 
But last season’s top Premier League scorer, with 30 goals, does not feature at all in the latest online club catalogue.
 
There are even club T-shirts for lesser lights such as Per Mertesacker.

Van Persie helped launch the Gunners’ new home kit in April but he has been frozen out of the latest online brochure, which highlights the team’s new purple away kit.
 
If the matter remains unresolved by the weekend, he will still go to the Far East.
