Robin Van Persie Wants To Leave Arsenal, Here's Six Reasons Why He Should (PICTURES)

Robin van Persie last week revealed he will not be extending his contract at Arsenal beyond its 2013 expiry date, effectively handing the club a transfer request simultaneously.

Potential suitors from Manchester City to Juventus to Paris Saint-Germain continue to be linked with the 28-year-old striker, but some Gooners haven't given up hope the Dutchman could, like Steven Gerrard in 2005 and Wayne Rooney in 2010, do a U-turn and sign a new deal with the club.

Here however, are six reasons why Van Persie should leave the Emirates Stadium:

1. Thierry Henry

2.Emmanuel Adebayor

3.Kolo Touré

4.Samir Nasri

5.Gaël Clichy

6.Cesc Fàbregas
