Juventus join Robin van Persie chase

Juventus have reportedly joined the chase for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie.

The 28-year-old, whose contract ends in 2013, has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

The Serie A side could force the Gunners to sell if they make a bid for Van Persie in the summer, reports Corriere Dello Sport.

Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid are thought to be among the frontrunners vying for the Dutchman's signature.

The forward has scored 22 goals in 25 Premier League games this season.
