Pires reveals MLS contact
Former Arsenal midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thierry-Henry-c34918, has urged him to join his team New York Red Bulls in the Major League Soccer (MLS) next season.
Pires joined Aston Villa on a short deal in the winter transfer window and will be a free agent in the summers. The 37-year-old revealed that he will consider Henry’s option in some point in his career but for now he wants to do his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 with the Midlands
club. The former Villarreal midfielder admitted that he will hold talks with Villa at the end of the season and will decide about his future after that.
Pires said, "Thierry has phoned me. He called me up and said 'come over and play with me' but there are no http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 offers yet. For the moment, there is nothing else because the Premier League is not yet finished for the season. I will wait until it is finished.
I am relaxed about it. I still feel fit enough to play. I've not yet had talks with Villa about staying here after July [when his contract runs out].”
The Frenchman has made a little impact with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier’s team since his arrival and has played only seven games with the club.
Arsenal to part company with Arshavin

Arshavin joined the Gunners from Russian club, Zenit St.Petersburg in 2009 and has a good time at the Emirates since then. Despite making a handful of appearances for the club, the 29-year-old has found himself down the pecking order in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 squad. The
midfielder has scored 10 goals and has also contributed 17 assists this season but he has been inconsistent in the big matches.
The Gunners can no longer afford the Russians £85,000-a-week wage demands and will look to cash on him in the summer transfer window. Spanish side, Villarreal, are rumoured to be interested in signing Arshavin and a deal in the region of 8 -10 million Euros
could take place in the near future.
