LONDON: Dutch winger Robin van Persie has agreed to join Arsenal from Feyenoord, the English champions said on Wednesday.

　　The Dutch under-21 international will join Arsenal "on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee and subject to a medical," the London club announced.

　　"I'm delighted to be joining a great club like Arsenal, this is a dream come true for me," the 20-year-old said.

　　Arsenal first made an offer for van Persie in the January transfer window but the two clubs failed to come to an agreement before it closed. Arsenal said they expect to officially register him on May 17, when the transfer window re-opens.
