Robin van Persie has welcomed the competition of Radamel Falcao’s arrival
Despite the fact the Colombian will be a direct rival of van Persie’s for a place in attack the 31-year-old has welcomed the challenge.
Falcao joined the club on transfer deadline day on a one year loan deal from AS Monaco and will be looking to make an instant impact.
“I welcome his arrival, he makes us better. At a top club you should always go for the best, which also fits my philosophy,” van Persie was quoted by the Daily Star.
