Speaking to Voetbal, Mark Van Bommel admitted that PSV is keen on signing Robben and he has spoken with the Dutch winger on numerous occasions.
"“More than one call indeed. He has to make the decision, that is very simple.”“He knows that we would like to have him there and now we have to give him the time to make a choice about it.”"
