Van Persie has missed many games over the past two seasons through various injuries. His aims for the season are to stay injury free and just play as many games as possible.
The 24-year-old sees this season as “a new season with new chancesâ€.
The young striker had a record of 22 goals in 45 games over the past two years and will really be an asset if he can stay fit.
“Last year I missed too many games and I am still disappointed about it,†said the Dutchman. “But that is life. That is football and things can happen. I accepted it.
“This is a new year with new chances. Hopefully I can be injury-free this year. Last year I played 16 games and scored seven goals — that is nearly one out of two. It is not too bad.
“I just want to have the same results this season with a few more matches.â€
All Arsenal fans will be hoping that Van Persie can start the season strong and really boost Arsenal’s strike force for a long period of time.
