Robin van Persie is set to make a return to his old club Feyenoord this January, according to reports in the Netherlands.
The striker began his professional career at the Rotterdam club after he joined their youth team as a 16-year-old. He scored 22 appearances in 78 games for Feyenoord, earning himself a move to Arsenal where he stayed for eight seasons.
The Dutchman struggled with injuries but exploded in his last two seasons at the Emirates, scoring 30 league goals in his last year as a Gunner. His legendary status at Arsenal vanished as he moved for just €22m to Manchester United late in the summer of 2012.
