Van Persie ready to pledge future to Arsenal

ROBIN VAN PERSIE is ready to pledge his future to Arsenal if they can match his own trophy-winning ambitions.

The Dutchman confirmed discussions about a new deal are continuing but is adamant his future will not be decided by the amount of money on offer.

Van Persie, who misses tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Macedonia with a groin strain, had reportedly been stalling over a new three-year, £80,000 (e86,000) a week deal – with Barcelona understood to be monitoring his situation.
