Arsenal legend George Graham feels Robin van Persie will reject a new contract.

Van Persie is out of contract in June 2013 and has delayed talks over a new deal until the end of this season. But Graham believes the Dutch striker will go.

He told The Sun: "Some players at Chelsea and Manchester City are earning £175,000 a week or more.

"For Van Persie, this will be his last big contract. He'll be 29 when his contract finishes and he's going to be looking for a four-year contract, maybe even five. You can't expect Arsenal to pay that knowing that in his last two years he probably won't be a regular in the team.
