Robin van Persie Rules Out Arsenal Return

Robin van Persie has stated that a return to Arsenal is unlikely, as he believes the 'door is closed' due to the sensitivity surrounding his transfer to Manchester United. Having spent eight successful years at Arsenal, scoring 132 goals, his move to rivals United in 2012 left a bitter taste among many Gunners fans. Van Persie, who is now the head coach of Eredivisie side SC Heerenveen, expressed that while he enjoys his current role, he does not expect to work at Arsenal again, emphasizing that the sentiment is more pronounced among Arsenal supporters. He acknowledged the ongoing sensitivity regarding his past transfer and prefers to focus on the present. Throughout his career, Van Persie has been recognized as one of the top strikers, including being the all-time leading scorer for the Netherlands national team.
