No Arsenal deal for Van Persie Jnr

ARSENAL captain Robin van Persie has dismissed reports the Gunners are keen on signing his son — but revealed the club have invited the five-year-old in for training sessions.

The Dutch striker’s son hit the headlines this week when it was claimed that the Gunners had heard of his prodigious talent and hoped to add him to their youth ranks.

Van Persie says Shaqueel is happy playing with his friends but could occasionally train with his father’s club as well.
