Robbin van Persie will not travel with London's Arsenal team to play friendly matches in Asian countries.
Goal.com sources report that the Dutchman himself refused to fly with the club, hoping to sign a contract with Manchester City before the end of the player transfer deadline.
Thus, the forward is opposing Arsenal's plans to prevent him from changing clubs and has declared a sort of strike.
During the Asian tour, Arsenal will play three matches: against "Malaysia XI", Manchester City, and Kitchee FC teams.
