Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is excited by Robin van Persie's current form.
The 27-year-old has been used sparingly since suffering an ankle problem at Blackburn in August. Wenger has deliberately eased Van Persie back into action and that appears to be paying dividends as he begins to near his best.
"It's the sharpest he has been for a long time," Wenger told arsenal.com.
"Van Persie is a technical striker with short, sharp movements and [he] can bring other players in.
"In our system that is very important. He works hard for the team like all the other strikers and he is a left-footed player who gives different angles in the build up of the game.
"He depends on his physical sharpness."
