Robin van Persie has no problem sharing the goals around at Arsenal.

The Gunners missed Van Persie's cutting edge while he was injured this season.

"I love to play with the team," he told arsenal.com. "I love to come across [the opposing centre half] and give a one-touch pass back. Or when, for example, the centre backs pass the ball to me I love to give it straight away to Theo when he is on his run.

"I love to be involved with the game. I don't want to wait and sit and score a tap in. That is for me not good enough. Football is much more than that. In my opinion you help your team more with the way I like to play than when you are just sitting back.

"In a way it is unselfish but you will get chances because everyone sees that you play for the team. It always comes back to you. When you respect the game, the game respects you and your team respects you too so you will get the ball back."
