Robin van Persie has signed a new deal at Arsenal, according to newspaper reports.
The Independent claims in categorical terms that the Dutch striker, a reputed target for Manchester United, has put pen to paper on a deal that commits him to the Emirates until 2014.
'The Dutch international had just one year on his deal left to run but has signed up for an additional four years, making him one of the club's better earners at around £80,000 a week. He follows Theo Walcott in committing himself to Arsène Wenger and is crucial to the Arsenal manager's plans next season,' it announces.
If true, Van Persie will be the latest in a string of young Gunners to commit his future to Arsenal. In the past week alone, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs have all signed new deals with the club.
However, Emmanuel Adebayor's future remains in some doubt, with AC Milan thought to be interested in recruiting the Togo striker. 'Sources close to the club have indicated that even if Wenger loses Emmanuel Adebayor this summer -despite the fact that there is less interest in him than 12 months ago - Wenger will not look to sign another striker,' says The Indy. 'Instead he will stick with his current selection - Van Persie, Walcott, Nicklas Bendtner, Eduardo da Silva and Carlos Vela - for the new season.'
