Van Persie stunned the club earlier this month, when he confirmed that he does not plan to sign a new deal with the club.
The 28-year-old’s current contract with the Gunners is set to expire at the end of next season.
Van Persie is set to return to pre-season training with Arsenal next week and the Daily Mail reports that the club are still ‘very hopeful’ of securing the long term future of the striker.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is expected to hold a heart-to-heart talk with Van Persie to try to change the striker’s mind.
