Arsenal star Van Persie rejects Real Madrid rumours

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has no interest in joining Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.

The Daily Star Sunday says Bernabeu boss Mourinho is weighing up an offer to tempt Van Persie to Madrid but the Dutchman says his focus is to help Arsene Wenger's outfit end their six-year trophy drought.

The Holland star said: "In the second part of last season I scored 18 league goals. I believe this could be a really good year for me.

"I want to win trophies but winning doesn't come from out of the blue.

"We didn't have a World Cup or European Championships during the summer, so we can prepare really well this year."
