http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 has performed this season and feels that the player has surpassed all the expectations that the manager had.
The Gunners captain and striker has been in prolific form this season and has gone on to score a highly impressive twenty seven goals this season in the Premier League. At the moment, the forward is leading the goal scorers chart in the league, but Van Persie
is looking to add a few more goals to his record, before the season comes to an end.
Van Persie’s performances have been so remarkable, that he has gone on to help the Gunners to climb up to the third spot, despite many believing that the team would find it hard to break into the top four this term.
When talking about the forward, Wenger is quoted to have said: “Yes [he has exceeded my expectations], not on the quality of his games though because I expect a lot from him. It is purely football technically.”
However, the manager believes that the striker is not only helping the team on the pitch, as with his role as captain, he has been a constant source of inspiration on and off the pitch.
At the same time, the help that Van Persie has been offering the younger players is rather remarkable and has helped them out quite a bit.
He added: “The way it goes beyond my level of expectation is the number of goals he has scored, that is for sure. Where he is sensational as well is as a captain. He has done extremely well on and off the field.”
Van Persie is yet to decide what he wants to do in the future, but the way things are shaping up, he is more than likely to stick around at the Emirates till he ends up retiring.
Nonetheless, it is going to be an interesting wait to see just what kind of offers Arsenal get for the forward and just what the Dutch international ends up doing with his future.
