Wenger: Van Persie will deliver

ARSENE WENGER feels the transformation of Robin van Persie from talented winger to Arsenal’s main goal threat is close to completion.

The former Feyenoord player — who turned 24 today — has produced some eye-catching displays during pre-season to mark his return from five months out with a broken metatarsal.

Van Persie struck a late winner to beat hosts Ajax on Saturday and secure the Gunners a second trophy within a week at the Amsterdam Tournament.
