Striker Robin van Persie says that he is raring to go next season, after spending months on the sidelines with a broken metatarsal injury.

van Persie suffered the injury when he scored the equalising goal against Manchester United in January.

The Dutch striker said: "For the first two weeks all I could do was sit at home. That moment was very hard for me.

"I was watching lots of football, but there I was, not even able to go to my own kitchen to get a drink. Everything had to be done for me.

"I had a lot of time to think about things such as how I see Arsenal, how Arsenal sees me, how I can improve.

"Those things you can really think about, but when you live day to day there is no time to stop and think about it.

"You are too tired and also in football it is always 'the next game, the next game, this game has gone, look at the next one' - and suddenly I did not have that for three or four months."
