Arsene Wenger claims 'no new bids' for Robin van Persie

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted that there have been no new bids made for Robin van Persie by Manchester United or Manchester City.

Van Persie revealed earlier this month that he would not be signing a new deal at The Emirates and is looking for a move away from the club.

United have admitted making contact regarding the Dutch forward, who has not been taken on Arsenal's pre-season tour of Asia, while City and Juventus are also interested. Wenger delivered a frustrated reaction when questioned about his 28-year-old captain, claiming that no more contact has been made.

"We will not come back forever on Van Persie. We have many strikers at home. Van Persie is one of them," said the Frenchman.

"We have not had any more contact from City or United about him at all.

"The Van Persie case doesn't cross my mind. We have had no offers. We have [already] talked about Van Persie."

Van Persie joined Arsenal in 2004 from Dutch side Feyenoord.
