Pires’ agent denies Rangers link

ROBERT Pires is continuing to mull over the offer of a one-year contract extension from Arsenal and has not had talks with Rangers over a move to Scotland, according to the players’ agent.

The midfielder's present deal expires in the summer, and the 32-year-old World Cup winner has so far delayed signing for an additional 12 months in the hope of securing a longer-term contract.

Reports have suggested Pires could be on his way to the Scottish giants to link up with fellow Frenchman Paul Le Guen, who will take charge at Ibrox at the end of the season.
