Former
Arsenal defender Sol Campbell insists that Arsene Wenger needs to spend
in the summer in order to hold onto striker Robin van Persie.
The 28-year-old has been
in inspired form for the Gunners this season, scoring 27 goals in 33
Premier League games and helping to propel them into third place in the
Premier League table.
Yet Campbell insists
that if Arsenal fail to bring in some fresh talent next season then Van
Persie will be tempted to leave the club, particularly with other teams
such as Manchester City poised to swoop for his signature.
“Arsenal need a few more
players who want to take on the challenge, who are going to say ‘I’m
going to make the difference this season’.
“If they don’t buy
players he’s going to go, I think he’s going to feel there’s a lack of
ambition at the club. Arsenal need a few players who can make the
difference, on the field and on the bench.”
Van Persie’s contract
expires at the end of the 2012-13 season with the Dutchman having placed
talks over a renewal on hold until the summer.
