Juventus lead Manchester United and Manchester City for Arsenal ace Van Persie

According to reports Juventus have emerged as favourites to land want-away Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie.

Manchester United and Manchester City are both understood to be chasing the Gunner who has declared he will not be renewing his contract which has now only a year left to run.

It seems City and Juventus can both outmuscle United in terms of a financial package, but a source in Turin has intimated that a move to Serie A is certainly a possibility, saying: “The Premier League is not the be all and end all, like it might for an English player.

"Van Persie is Dutch, has a different mindset and other big players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic have had good careers in Italy.”
