The Holland international has been impressive this year, scoring 31 times in the Premier League.
“I feel I’m a real No.9 now. I think like a striker,” said Van Persie. “Sometimes I amaze even myself on that.
“It’s really great how things are going but at the same time I have to try and look at it calmly.
“Everyone knows what the ultimate goal is. Only the prizes count.
“This run of goals has to lead to something otherwise it’s only a nice series and I desire more than that.”
