Arsenal legend Ian Wright admits that Robin van Persie could be justified for wanting to leave the club.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has admitted that he doesn't blame Robin van Persie for wanting to leave the club.

The Gunners captain revealed earlier this month that he would not be renewing his contract as he questioned the ambition of the hierarchy at the Emirates Stadium.

Wright now believes that the striker could be justified in his actions.

"At least Van Persie is not the sort of player who would be unprofessional and cause problems within the group and in many respects I cannot blame him for wanting to join a club who are winning trophies," Wright told The Sun.

"For the last few years, Arsenal have lost at least one top player each summer and they have struggled to win anything as a result."

Premier League champions Manchester City are thought to be among the frontrunners to land Van Persie.
