Van Persie returns - Dutchman will hold talks with Arsenal
Robin van Persie: Will report back on Monday

Robin van Persie returns to Arsenal on Monday following his summer break and Sky Sports understands he will hold talks with the club.

However, there is no indication that Van Persie's stance over a new contract has changed - as he awaits further developments on his future.

Juventus, Manchester City and Manchester United all maintain an interest in landing the coveted signature of the Dutchman - who has a year left on his current deal.

Arsenal would seemingly be loath to be dragged into another situation similar to that of Samir Nasri last summer, and it is believed they would rather a deal be done sooner rather than later.

Arsenal are due to depart for a pre-season tour of the Far East this weekend, and it remains to be seen whether their captain will be involved or if the situation over his future moves on in the coming days.

Van Persie revealed earlier month that he would not be extending his contract with Arsenal, due to disagreements on how the club should move forward.
