Crystal Palace have acquired the services of former Arsenal midfielder on a free transfer. The Frenchman was on the search for a fresh club after he was released from the Emirates last term.

  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town



  • Flamini had received offers from his homeland as well as Turkey over the summer, but his intention was primarily to remain in the top flight.

    "Crystal Palace is a very ambitious club with great players and I am looking forward to being part of that squad," he told the Eagles' official website shortly after his move.

    "It is a very interesting challenge for me and I am very excited to be here. I have had chance to discuss the move here with Alan Pardew and he really helped me make my decision."

    The 32-year-old has been allotted a place in the Alan Pardew's Premier League squad, and will wear the number four shirt during the ongoing campaign.

    He becomes the second ex-Arsenal player to pen a contract this week with Nicklas Bendtner having sealed a Bosman switch to Nottingham Forest yesterday.
