Robin van Persie:
“The most difficult moment of my career was leaving Arsenal. It wasn’t an easy decision, and deep down I never truly wanted to walk away.
People judged me without knowing everything that was happening behind the scenes. Football is never as simple as it looks from the outside.
When I faced Arsenal after leaving, I always wanted to perform at my best. That’s the mentality of every professional—you want to prove yourself against your former club.
No matter what happened, Arsenal will always be a huge part of my career and my journey in football.” 🔴⚪️

"Last year, my nephew was kidnapped alongside three people. They were taken a few kilometres into the bush and spent 37 days there. At the time, I was working in Aso Villa. There was hardly anybody I didn't speak to. We gave them the coordinates, which were easy to get. The first time, they asked for N25 million, three motorcycles, a lot of drugs, a lot of medications, rice, and all sorts of things. All in all, between the first day they were kidnapped and when they were released, we spent close to N175 million." — Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, recounts his family's ordeal with kidnappers while serving as special adviser on political matters in the office of Vice-President Kashim Shettima
Arsenal remain firmly attentive to Julian Alvarez’s situation and are prepared to move quickly for the Atletico Madrid forward should they receive encouragement from the player, @TEAMtalk can reveal.
