Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has iterated his desire to prove his commitment to the club and its fans following his return to the North London outfit this summer.<br /><br />The talented Frenchman secured a return to the club on a free transfer in August, having trained with the squad prior to his move.
Flamini was called upon to come as a substitute following Jack Wilshere's illness in the first half and made an impressive second debut for Arsenal in their 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby.<br />
The former AC Milan midfielder is now desperate to show the Gunners faithful how much he respects the club.<br />
Flamini told the club's official website :<em> "I really have the sensation of being back home.Playing against Tottenham in a big derby, it was a great emotion, a great feeling.</em><br />
<em>"Playing against Tottenham is never easy but it is special for the Club, for the fans and for the players. Of course, for me it was my first game and I wanted to show everyone how committed I am to this club, how I am ready to give everything on the pitch. I hope everyone saw it; I really did my best when I came on.<br /><br />"I have heard it a lot [that it is like I have never been away]. I feel like I never left. There are players I played with before, and even staff, there are a lot of people still here that I knew before and the [relationship] with the fans was just amazing. I just want to thank everyone for the nice atmosphere on Sunday. It was great."</em>
