Robin van Persie tells Mikel Arteta why Arsenal should sign PSV's Cody Gakpo amid transfer links

Former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has outlined all the positive ability Cody Gakpo possesses as the PSV Eindhoven star continues to be linked with a transfer to the club. Before then, the 23-year-old faces the Gunners for a second time in a week for the Europa League group stages.

The clash between the two sides is a key one in deciding the rest of the group as only a win for the home side would see them come within a chance of taking top spot. The task for Mikel Arteta is much simpler as he looks for his side to avoid defeat, but claims they won't play just for that reason.

"We are going to play the same way we always play. We will come here to win the game and be dominant and try not to change the way we play," The manager told BT Sport before the game. "We are not coming here for a draw and we have made that very clear before the game."
