Arsenal's transfer deadline signing from Chelsea, Lassana Diarra, has hinted that he already may be looking for a move. Unfortunately for Diarra, Arsenal's early season form - particularly from Mathieu Flamini - has kept Diarra out of the team.
"For the moment, everything is going fine and I'm learning, but I cannot stay like this for ever," Diarra told The Times.
"I'm not going to wait for a year because I changed clubs in order to play.
"I'm not stupid. If I come to Arsenal and my situation is the same as at Chelsea, then I should have stayed at Chelsea. If I come to Arsenal, it's to play. In a few months, I'll have to decide what I want to do."
He added: "I've played more games for my country than for my club, which is ridiculous.
"When I came to Chelsea, I was 19, so to wait for a year is OK, but when I'm playing for the French national team with the European Championship coming, I need to play regular football.
"When Wenger signed me, he knew the player I am. I've been in this kind of situation before, so it's not new to me. I've waited for a long time, but I'm 22 and cannot wait as I have in the past.
"I know Arsenal are a very good team, playing good football and top of the league, but I want to playâ.
"If I'm not playing by Christmas I may have to go somewhere else."
