Van Persie is expected to undergo a medical at the weekend, Dutch media added. The 34-year-old former Arsenal captain and ex-Manchester United star is still under contract with Turkish giants Fenerbahce. Once named as the Dutch Football Association’s young talent of the year, Van Persie remains the country’s top, all-timer scorer having scored 50 goals in 102 internationals. After starting out with Excelsior, he made his debut for Feyenoord in 2002, before transferring to Arsenal in 2004, eventually becoming captain in 2011-2012. He transferred to Manchester United in August 2012 for a fee of over £27 million (30 million euros).
