Manchester City have made Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie their number one transfer target.

The Premier League leaders believe the Gunners are vulnerable to a big-money approach for their in-form Dutchman following a break down in talks over a new contract. Van Persie, currently the leading scorer in the Premier League, has just 18 months left on his contract and looks likely to leave the club in the summer.

City would ideally like to sign the striker to replace Carlos Tevez in January, but boss Roberto Mancini is willing to wait until the summer to secure the man many believe is currently the best striker in the Premier League.
