Arsenal legend Thierry Henry
hopes that Robin van Persie stays at
the club but believes the Gunners
are more than capable of coping
if the forwarder departs.
Van Persie, 28, has been heavily
linked with a move away after
revealing a desire to leave the
club earlier in the summer, with
Manchester United, Manchester
City and Serie A giants Juventus
all interested in a move for the
Dutchman player.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger
remains hopeful of holding on to
his star striker but Henry is
unsure whether the player will
remain at the club.
"We hope he stays and that's the
way it is," the Frenchman told Sky
Sports.
"I don't know exactly what is
happening but as an Arsenal fan
I want him to stay back.
"He is still an Arsenal player and
the boss has to deal with the situation. I just
want my Arsenal to do well. Robin
will do what he will do and we will
see.
"When I left Arsenal, everybody cried, but
then the year after they went on
a run of being eight points
ahead. Everyone including players comes and
goes."
Van Persie has less than a year
remaining on his existing
contract with the Gunners and
has insisted he does not intend
to extend his deal beyond.
