Arsenal will reportedly force wantaway frontman Robin van Persie to stay at the club until the January transfer window following unsuccessful bids from rival clubs.

Arsenal will reportedly stand firm and refuse to sell wantaway striker Robin van Persie until the January transfer window.

The 28-year-old, who recently admitted that he is unwilling to sign a new contract at the Emirates, is believed to be the target of Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus.

While the Gunners are thought to be against letting the Dutchman run down the final year of his contract, it is understood that the North London club will wait until the winter window to offload him, according to the Daily Star.

Reports have claimed that the three clubs interested in Van Persie have so far failed to meet Arsenal's £30m valuation of the striker. Approaches are believed to have included a bid in the region of £10m from United.
