Arsenal captain Robin van Persie has been urged to quit the club by AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Gunners captain saw his side completely outplayed by the Italians in midweek as Ibrahimovic's side won 4-0 in the San Siro on Wednesday night, with the last-16 first-leg defeat effectively ending their Champions League hopes for another year.

Van Persie has less than eighteen months left on his contract at Emirates Stadium and has been linked with a number of clubs in recent weeks.

The 28-year-old is unwilling to discuss a new deal until the summer and Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester City are all showing interest (see below).

AC Milan are also believed to be monitoring developments in north London and Ibrahimovic told The Sun: "When you don't win anything for years, people understand why you leave like Cesc Fabregas.

"Football is all about winning. If you don't win you want to go. I don't know Robin personally but I remember him from Holland and what a talent he was - now he is complete.

"I don't know what he is thinking but I know what I would do.

"I have made a lot of moves in my life - I take it as a challenge, an adventure.

"And I have won eight titles in eight years with different clubs in different countries.

"But if you stay in one place all your life it is easy to play football.

"You are at home, you are in the comfort zone.

"But if you move to five different places it is a real test. If you succeed that's when you become a real champion, that's when you get more respect."
