British 5000m world champion and Arsenal fan Mo Farah believes that Robin van Persie's decision to leave the Gunners will not be money-motivated.

British athlete and Arsenal supporter Mo Farah believes that Robin van Persie will leave the Emirates this summer in search of silverware.

The Dutchman has been at the centre of speculation in recent months and fuelled the fire after stating that he has no intentions of signing a new deal.

"I don't think it's anything to do with money," said Farah. "It's more him wanting to win things. I would love for him to stay at Arsenal but you have to think of yourself and your career."

Premier League champions Manchester City are thought to be the favourites to clinch the prolific striker, who has just one year left on his current Arsenal contract.
