Arsenal's Bischoff to leave Emirates when contract expires

Arsenal's Amaury Bischoff has admitted his future in football will be elsewhere but at Emirates Stadium.

The Portuguese 21-year old is currently on a 12-month contract with the Gunners after crossing from Werder Bremen but turned down the chance to play in Arsenal's FA Cup quarter-final against Hull City so he could train with the national side.

"Arsene Wenger wanted to play me on Tuesday night against Hull City. But I absolutely wanted to train with the national team. It is important to me," he told Aujourd'hui Sport.

"The training period went very smoothly and (head coach) Carlos Queiroz is very nice. He suggested I will play with the B national team on 1st April against Romania, or may be with the first team.

"I will reach the end of my contract with Arsenal, which remains my priority. However, I am free to do what I want.

"I know FC Porto and Sporting are following me. I have a preference for Sporting. It is a very prestigious club that plays a beautiful Football."
