Pires has been stalling on signing a new deal with Arsenal

Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires has not held talks with Scottish champions Rangers, according to his agent.

Newspaper reports claimed the 32-year-old, who has only been offered a one-year deal by Arsenal, had agreed a summer Bosman move to Rangers.

But Stephane Courbis told BBC Sport: "It's not true. We are only talking with Arsenal for the moment.

"Robert has a proposition from Arsenal in his hands and he is thinking about it. For the moment he does not know."

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has insisted he wants Pires to stay at the club - but says the Frenchman will only be offered a 12-month contract extension.

The player's deal ends in the summer but he has delayed signing a one-year extension in the hope of securing a longer deal.

We have a new generation with huge potential Robert Pires

"He is at an age where he would like three years. If I was in his place, I would as well," said Wenger.

"He will get one year. We will stick to our policy for older players."

Wenger said Pires still had an important role to play in his team.

"I have always said I want Robert to stay for at least another year and I hope he will make that decision sooner rather than later. He is always an important player for us," he added.

Pires has said he would like to remain at Arsenal, who are moving into a new 60,000 stadium for the start of next season.

"We have a new generation with huge potential. If I can act as a guide it will be with pleasure," said Pires.

The Frenchman joined the club in 2000 and was voted Football Writers' Player of the Year in 2002.

He has made over 250 appearances for the club since his �6m arrival from Marseille.
