Zlatan urges van Persie to leave Arsenal

The Dutchman, whose contract at the Emirates expires in 2013, has yet to commit his future with Arsenal, which has prompted speculation linking him with a move away this summer. Ibrahimovic maintains Van Persie would have an instant impact, should he decide to move, and hints that the 28-year-old's search for silverware could prompt a transfer. "I am very happy with my strikers," Ibrahimovic told Goal.com. "For sure, Van Persie will do a fantastic job wherever he goes, and he will be a big player for whichever team he joins. "But of course, if your team doesn’t win for a couple of years, inside yourself you still want to win. And if you don’t want that then I will never have you on my team, trust me!" AC Milan earned a huge first-leg lead with a destructive showing against Arsene Wenger's side, with Ibrahimovic scoring a penalty and assisting two more goals. And the Sweden international explained that it stood out for him as a team display, dismissing claims that it was an easy victory. "Everybody says it was easy because it was 4-0. Afterwards people said they hadn’t expected it to be so easy, but if you go through the game it wasn’t easy even if it was 4-0," said Ibrahimovic. "Normally at 1-0 or 2-0 you could relax and play out the result, but we wanted to continue. We had the engine going on, and for 90 minutes we continued. I have been here a year and a half, and it’s probably the best I have ever seen us play as a team, as a collective."
