Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is refusing to give up on keeping Robin van Persie.
The Gunners have rejected offers from Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus this week for the Dutchman.
"For me, Van Persie is one of the best strikers in the world, if not the best, and my desire is to keep him at the club," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"As for the rest I will do what is in the best interests of Arsenal Football Club. That, at the moment, is where we are. There is not a lot more to say than that."
