SHAKE ON IT ... Arsene Wenger has sold Robin Van Persie
ARSENE WENGER insists he will NOT buy another striker to replace Robin van Persie.
The Arsenal boss flogged Dutch ace Van Persie to Manchester United for £22million yesterday.But he claims the Gunners already have his replacement in new signings Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski.
Wenger said: “Giroud and Podolski were originally intended to offset the departure of Van Persie.”
The Frenchman admits Arsenal were left with no other option but to sell their captain.
He added: “It’s never great to lose players of that quality but he only had a year contract so we do not have a choice.
“He is at Manchester United, unfortunately for us. The transfer was finalised in the afternoon.”
