Arsenal Invincible Robert Pires admits his career could've been very different.

Pires has revealed he chose to move to Arsenal over Juventus.

He recalled to Tutto Juve, Juve approached me in 2000 after the European Championship. Arsenal and Real Madrid were also after me.

It was a difficult decision for me to make, but I chose Arsenal because I received a call from Wenger, who convinced me to move to London.

Having said that, I'll always be honoured by the interest that the Bianconeri showed."
