Robin van Persie's wife has urged the Arsenal striker to
repay the Gunners' faith by staying at Emirates
Stadium.
Van Persie's future remains unclear with Manchester City leading
the pursuit of the striker, who is out of contract next summer.
The striker has been locked in talks with Arsenal manager Arsene
Wenger and chief executive Ivan Gazidis but no agreement was
forthcoming before he linked up with the Dutch squad for Euro
2012.
But his wife, Bouchra, believes the striker should repay the
faith Arsenal showed in him when he was struggling for form and
pointed to the fact that their family are settled in London.
"Arsenal showed faith in Robin when he was going through a lean
time, so we should not repay them by thinking about other clubs,"
she was quoted as saying in the Sun. "Our home life and
our children are happy in London."
Van Persie's mother Jose added: "Arsenal love him and that's a
great incentive to stay. Arsenal are a fantastic club. They have no
debts and Robin is idolised there."
