Arsenal’s striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380, has expressed his desire to win trophies with the Gunners

Arsenal’s talismanic centre-forward, Robin van Persie, has expressed his desire to commit his future to the club and wants to end the trophy drought by winning as much trophies as possible this season.
The 27-year-old said, “I don't have the inclination to go anywhere. This is the best team for me to be in. The bottom line is that I want to win trophies with Arsenal, not with anybody else. I know you can win trophies in many countries and in many ways,
but I want to do that in our way and in an Arsenal shirt”.
Arsenal has not won a single piece of silverware in the last six years. Their last trophy was a FA Cup which they won on penalties against Manchester United back in 2005.
However, Van Persie and his teammates are right on track in ending their trophy drought.
Arsenal is the only team in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 that is challenging in four different competitions.
Arsene Wenger’s dream of lifting the first title in five years is likely to come true this Sunday, when Arsenal will play the Carling Cup final against Premier League minnows, Birmingham City, at Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal is the only team remaining in the Barclays Premier League to rival Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s Manchester United for the Premier League crown.
The Gunners are currently placed second in the Barclays Premier League standings, only four points behind Manchester United.
Despite drawing their last match against League One side, Leyton Orient, at Brisbane Road, the Gunners are still in the FA Cup and are favourites to go through to the next round to face Manchester United in the quarterfinal of the competition.
Moreover, Arsenal’s hopes of winning their first ever UEFA Champions League are very much alive, after their sensational win over favourites, Barcelona, last week.
Robin van Persie, Arsenal’s vice-captain, rose to the occasion and scored the equaliser against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771 scored the winner to keep Arsenal in contention.
Persie is enjoying his prime form and has been exceptional since his return from injury. The Dutchman is the only player to have reached double figures in 2011. The forward has managed to find the back of the net on twelve separate occasions, in only ten
appearances that he has made for Arsenal in all competitions.
The 27-year-old was delighted to return to action after the niggling injuries which kept him out in the first half of the season.
However, the Dutch striker conceded that he cannot win trophies for Arsenal singlehandedly despite enjoying rich vein of form.
He added, “When you don't play, people can forget you really quickly. There's always a new player, a new thing, football can change in one game. Now that I've come back with some goals, it's a new story for people and journalists might say 'He can make them
champions' - but that's not the case, either".
Persie, who scored his first ever Premier League hat-trick against Wigan Atheltic a month ago, has yet to win any silverware with the Gunners since http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429’s FA Cup trophy back in 2005.
