    Robin van Persie
    According to The Guardian, Arsenal have rejected a Manchester United bid for their wantaway striker Robin van Persie.
    According to the article, the North London club are looking for offers in excess of £20 million for van Persie, who earlier this summer, announced his intention to leave the club.

    However, it is believed United are wary of offering more, due to the player turning 29 next month.

    The BBC meanwhile, reports today that Arsenal have received multiple offers for the player from Juventus and Manchester City as well, although neither come close to matching their valuation.

    With rumours over his future building, Goal.com leads with the story today that van Persie has pulled out of Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia in an attempt to force his club to sell.

    The story claims that Manchester City is the Dutchman's preferred destination.

    The website also refutes the fact that United have bid for the player, stating that their focus is on Brazilian starlet Lucas Moura, as well as Real Madrid's Nuri Sahin.

    With less than a year to run on his current contract, if Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger decided to keep the star striker at the club, the Gunners would run the risk of losing him for nothing next year.

    The Dutchman is coming off the back of a stellar season, in which he led the Premier League with 30 goals, as well as scoring seven more in other competitions.

    As a result, van Persie claimed numerous personal accolades, such as the PFA Player of the Year award.

    With the start of the season a month away, fans of Arsenal can expect a decision over his future to be made in the coming few weeks.

    Where he'll end up though, is another question.
