Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists there is no reason why Robin van Persie cannot go on to score 25 goals this season.[LNB]The Dutchman topped Arsenal's scoring charts with 20 last term and has already netted eight times this campaign.[LNB]"If you look at the chances he has had since the start of the season you cannot say he won't reach 25 goals," said Wenger.[LNB]"Robin has taken much more responsibility because he is up front. He has committed himself to the club for a long period and he is at an age, 26, where a footballer becomes really efficient, mature and wants to win things.[LNB]"That is why I believe he can be the best passer in the league and the best goalscorer in the league. When you look at the goals he scores they are always impressive."
