Robin van Persie extends contract
According to news reports, striker Robin van Persie has signed a contract extension with the club.
The Dutch international had previously indicated that he would only consider staying on at the club if he felt that the club was going in the right direction.
Negotiations over the close season must have been successful as British newspaper The Independent reports that van Persie has signed on till 2014.
The paper announces: "The Dutch international had just one year on his deal left to run but has signed up for an additional four years, making him one of the club's better earners at around £80,000 a week.
"He follows Theo Walcott in committing himself to Arsène Wenger and is crucial to the Arsenal manager's plans next season."
If the news is true, it has been a successful last few weeks at the club as manager Arsène Wenger had promised Arsenal fans that he would do his best to keep the current squad together and only purchase players if he felt they would help improve the squad.
