Wenger raps Spanish over van Persie

Arsene Wenger has accused the Spanish media of trying to unsettle Arsenal captain Robin van Persie.

The Netherlands striker has been in superb form this season, his hat-trick in the 7-1 demolition of Blackburn taking his goal tally to 28 in all competitions.

Just like Cesc Fabregas before him, Van Persie — who has yet to commit to a new long-term deal — has been heavily linked with a move to Spain.
