Van Persie, who forced a move to Manchester United last year, enjoyed a superb opening season at Old Trafford – firing the club to the Premier League title.
But the Dutchman has reportedly become frustrated with life under new manager David Moyes, and is now angling for a switch back to Arsenal.
According to Sky Italia, Wenger met Van Persie’s representative in London late last month where it was made clear that Van Persie wants to leave United – and go back to the Gunners.
Wenger is believed to be now considering his next move, but with United planning an overhaul of their squad in the summer, the 30-year-old could be made available.
The Arsenal manager was coy this week when asked if he would consider re-signing Van Persie and it is thought that he has raised the prospect of their former captain returning with senior players, to see whether he would be welcomed back.
Arsenal have cash to spend on a new striker in the summer, with the club recently showing £140million worth of spare cash in their latest financial report.
