ARSENAL captain Robin van Persie insists he will not let talk of his future distract him from Euro 2012, despite describing one of his suitors, Juventus, as a "great team".
Van Persie enjoyed a stellar year at Arsenal, scoring 37 goals to help the Gunners turn around their season and qualify for the Champions League.
Recent talks over an extension to his current contract, which expires next summer, failed and he has been coveted by teams including Juve and Barcelona.
He said: "Juve? They are a great team, of course. I agreed not to discuss my future with Arsenal.
"I can only say that my intention is to play in the European Championship. And then go on to win the Champions League."
