Robin van Persie: I did not get the most out of myself during my time at Feyenoord

Arsenal forward Robin van Persie admitted that he did not get the best out of himself during his time at Feyenoord, and added that he could have achieved more at the Eredivisie giants.

The 28-year-old started his professional career at the Rotterdam giants and won one Uefa Cup with Feyenoord before leaving the Eredivisie side for Arsenal in the summer of 2004.

Van Persie has only fond memories of his time at De Kuip, but the Netherlands international feels that he could have got more out of himself.

"Some amazing things happened during my time at Feyenoord, and I have nothing but good memories. However, I could have achieved more had I got the best out of myself," Van Persie said to Feyenoord Magazine.

"I still feel that I could have done better. I'm at the top of my game now at Arsenal, and I did not manage to do that at Feyenoord for a number of reasons. I could have offered more in those days, and that's a bit of a shame. I am looking back at my time at the club very positively, though."

Van Persie has been in excellent scoring form for Arsenal as he currently leads the Premier League scoring charts with 22 goals from 25 appearances.
