Arsene Wenger has called on French midfielder Mathieu Flamini to stay at the club despite the interest of AC Milan and Juventus, and told Flamini to consider staying at the Gunners and not leaving for the sake of 'a few bucks'.

"There is something in this team which is stronger than a few bucks here and there," said Wenger.

"What is really important is that this team says 'lets go to the end of our potential together and not walk out for any simpler reason' - and that is where I expect them to show strength, and care what they can achieve together.

"We are not any more in a period where you get £100 more at another club and it decides your life.

"Flamini can earn more somewhere else that is for sure because it would be a free transfer - but how much is he ready to sacrifice to stay here?"
