AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovich believes Robin van Persie must leave his Arsenal ‘comfort zone’ to win trophies.

The Swede helped mastermind the Rossoneri’s 4-0 demolition of the Gunners mid-week and was only to keen to give advice to the Gunners skipper.

“When you don’t win anything for years, people understand why you leave like Cesc Fabregas,” he told the Sun.

“Football is all about winning. If you don’t win you want to go. I don’t know Robin personally but I remember him from Holland and what a talent he was — now he is complete.

“I don’t know what he is thinking but I know what I would do.

“I have made a lot of moves in my life — I take it as a challenge, an adventure.

“And I have won eight titles in eight years with different clubs in different countries.

“But if you stay in one place all your life it is easy to play football.

“You are at home, you are in the comfort zone.

“But if you move to five different places it is a real test. If you succeed that’s when you become a real champion, that’s when you get more respect.”

The Gunners forward has scored 28 goals for the north London club this campaign and could leave for free at the end of next season when his contract expires.
