Van Persie Completes Feyenoord come back

Robin van Persie has sealed his return to Feyenoord by signing a one-and-a-half-year deal with the reigning Eredivisie champions, prompting technical director Martin van Geel to hail the homecoming as “beautiful and special”.

Fenerbahce agreed to cancel Van Persie’s contract, allowing the former Arsenal and Manchester United star to re-join the club he left in 2004.

The 34-year-old will train with Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s squad on Monday, having passed a medical.

“We have always said that Robin is more than welcome at Feyenoord and we are very happy that he now joins the squad,” said Van Geel at the signing ceremony.
