Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists that Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski will fill the void left by Robin van Persie, who is due to sign for Manchester United today.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that he will not delve back into the transfer window to buy a replacement for outgoing striker Robin van Persie.

The 29-year-old, who was an unused substitute in the Netherlands' 3-2 defeat to Belgium in an international friendly last night, has confirmed his departure from the Gunners after a fee between Arsenal and Manchester United was agreed yesterday for the prolific frontman.

"We have already recruited [Olivier] Giroud and [Lukas] Podolski, who originally were intended to offset the departure of Van Persie," Wenger told TF1.

Van Persie is expected to agree personal terms with the Red Devils and complete a medical at some point in Manchester today.
