Reports from France Football claim former Arsenal great Robert Pires has denied any speculation linking him with a return to England. The Frenchman is currently not tied to any club after completing his four-year contract with Spanish club Villarreal, and is free to join whichever team he sees fit.

“I saw reports having attributed me to statements that I am in contact with several English clubs,” Pires said. “These statements are not from me. I would be interested in a return to England but to date no one has approached me or my agent,” he insisted.

At 36 years of age, Pires is clearly in the twilight of his career, but his performances for Villarreal last season proves he is still more than capable of competing at a high level.
