    With the signing of Reyes, it probably is time for him to move on.

    Sylvain Wiltord claims he has no future at Arsenal.
    The French striker is out of contract at Highbury this summer and says no attempts have been made to discuss a new deal.

    Wiltord fears the £20m signing of Jose Antonio Reyes - whose capture means the Frenchman is no longer Arsenal's record signing - will hasten his exit.

    He said: "I thought we would agree a new contract but the club have not come back to me, so that looks to be it."

    Contract rules mean that Wiltord can speak to other clubs now and he has been linked with a return to France with Paris St Germain.

    Wiltord said: "I am free to sign a contract with another club for next season and we will see what happens.

    "I've been getting some calls, though I would prefer to finish this season and make my choice of where to go after that.

    "I have heard rumours about interest from PSG.

    "Everyone knows I would love to play for them."

    Wiltord has been plagued by a series of niggling injuries which have restricted his appearances this season.

    He last started a Premiership match in October, but says he will be fit enough to play in Arsenal's Carling Cup semi-final, second leg against Middlesbrough.

    Wiltord said: "I would really love to play in that match with the youngsters, but it is down to the manager.

    "It has been disappointing for me this season, it's the first time in my career I have mised so many matches."

    "There is life after Arsenal, now I just have to get on with it."
