Robin van Persie doubted he could be Arsenal’s main striker

Arsenal captain Robin van Persie said he had never considered himself the main striker of the London club till he was obliged to play as a forward.

“I was hoping to play as a second striker. We only tried it when Adebayor went. The boss didn’t buy anyone else - he was convinced I could do it, but I wasn’t,” ESPN quotes Robin van Persie as saying.

During this season Arsenal forward scored 26 goals in 31 matches.
