Robin van Persie dismisses Chelsea links: 'I am committed to Fenerbahce
Baku, November 25, AZERTAC
Robin van Persie has dismissed reports linking him with a surprise return to the Premier League as a Chelsea player, reaffirming his commitment to Fenerbahce, standard.co.
The former Manchester United and Arsenal striker only moved to Turkey in the summer, but has endured a disappointing time in the Super Lig, averaging less than a goal every three games and at times finding himself among the substitutes in European games.
With the English champions suffering from a misfiring strikeforce and Barcelona lacking support for their stellar trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar the 32-year-old has been linked with moves to both Chelsea and Barcelona. But Van Persie has no intention of leaving Turkey after less than six months.
He told Turkish Football: "There is a lot of talk about Chelsea and Barcelona but I have received no offers and I am dedicated to Fenerbahce."
