FOOTBALL;ARSENE WENGER has vowed to do everything in his power to keep Robin van Persie at Arsenal.

The Dutch striker, 28, is entering into the final year of his contract at the Emirates and has been heavily linked with a move away from the club.
Manchester City and Juventus are both hot on the heels of prolific forward, who finished top scorer in the Premier League last season with 30 goals.
Gunners boss Wenger said: “We want to keep Robin van Persie at all costs — because we depend on him offensively.
“I have always supported him even in the hardest times, and I hope he will end his career at Arsenal.”
Wenger wants Van Persie to link up with summer signings Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud in a devastating three-pronged attack.
Giroud did not enjoy the best tournaments at Euro 2012 with France but comes off the back of a terrific season in Ligue 1, where his 21 goals helped Montpellier to the title.
Wenger added: “I have known Olivier Giroud for some time.
“The first time I saw him, I found he had something intelligent and dangerous. I always said he could score goals and assist his partners.
“Our game is based on co-operation between the players in the offensive phase and he will integrate easily.
“I don’t like simple goalscorers, they must also add to the collective. He is good in the air which is rare. He is quite complete and has a great room for improvement.”
