Robert Pires rules out Arsenal return

11 January 2012 - 08:30

Arsenal legend Robert Pires has scotched talk of a shock return to the Gunners first team. Pires training with Arsenal had seen several reports link the winger with a Thierry Henry-esque return to the Gunners.

We believe: Amad Diallo reacts after Man Utd's 2-2 draw at Forest

Confirmed Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Aston Villa, Gravenberch starts

But the former Aston Villa winger will not be returning to the Emirates as a player, and Arsene Wenger is hoping that experienced, successful heads on the training ground will help build a strong team spirit at Arsenal.



Pires said on Twitter: "I'm training to maintain my fitness but thanks. I appreciate you all want me back."
