Former Arsenal striker Sylvain Wiltord has announced his retirement from football at the age of 38.

The France international made 175 appearances in his four years at the Club, scoring 49 goals. The most famous of those was his strike at Old Trafford in May 2002, which clinched the Double for the Gunners.

Wiltord won two Premier League titles and two FA Cups in his time with Arsenal and was a member of the 2003/04 'Invincibles' squad that went through an entire season unbeaten. He moved to Lyon in 2004 before spells at Rennes, Marseille, Metz and Nantes.

An energetic forward, Wiltord also won 92 caps for France, scoring 26 goals including an injury-time equaliser in the Euro 2000 final against Italy, which Les Bleus won in extra-time.
