Robin van Persie: Arsenal Can Win EPL And CL Double
Dutchman wants to end the season with a bulging trophy cabinet.
Nov 8, 2009 7:12:21 AM
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has admitted he wants to add to his medal collection by winning the Premier League and Champions League with the Gunners, a feat he believes is possible.
Arsene Wenger’s side have been in scintillating form in recent weeks and moved into second place in the Premier League with a 4-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux yesterday.
Having so far only claimed two titles with the Emirates outfit, the Dutch international has admitted he is desperate for more silverware.
"So far I have only won two trophies at Arsenal - the FA Cup and the Community Shield,” he told the News of the World.
"That's not enough and I would hate to finish my career having won only those here.
"I desperately want to win the Premier League and the Champions League with Arsenal and I truly believe that's possible.”
The striker also revealed the pride he felt at playing for the club and the style of football that Arsene Wenger has instilled at the Emirates.
"I get the chance to play with the likes of Fabregas, Arshavin, Eduardo, Walcott, Nasri and Rosicky - great players who play a beautiful game,” he added.
"Then I watch some teams on TV and think: 'Oh my God, this is so ugly!'
"That helps me realize how special it is to be at a club like this. I want to win it all with Arsenal."
