Robert PIRES and Robbie Fowler are each set to trouser a MILLION DOLLARS for seven weeks’ playing in India.



The Arsenal and Liverpool legends have been recruited for the new Indian Premier League, along with ex-Chelsea striker Hernan Crespo, Bolton hero ­­Jay-Jay Okocha and Liverpool flop Fernando Morientes.



Italy’s 2006 World Cup-winning skipper Fabio Cannavaro has also been signed up.
