Gunners midfielder wants to stay
11:15am Tuesday 13th May 2008
GILBERTO SILVA has expressed his desire to see out the remainder of his career at Arsenal.
The Brazilian world cup winner lost his place in the starting XI to Mathieu Flamini this season. But after seeing the Frenchman depart to Milan, the 32-year-old midfielder is keen to regain his place in Arsene Wenger's first-team plans.
"Maybe in the next few days we will sit down and see what will happen with my future," Gilberto told Arsenal TV Online.
"Arsene has my number and I have his number, and I can come back and solve the situation, but I have still got one more year on my contract.
"I have always expressed the desire to stay here to the end of my career. If that happens, it would be fantastic.
"I have been here six seasons now and it has all been amazing.
"I would be very happy to stay here and then discuss another contract to the end of my career."
