Mathieu Flamini to Middlesbrough?

Newly-promoted Middlesbrough are eager to make a move for Mathieu Flamini whose contract runs out at Arsenal in the summer. The Frenchman is expected to follow the likes of Mikel Arteta and Tomas Rosicky through the Emirates exit door next month.

Flamini, 32, has been recently linked with a move back to his homeland with Bastia keen on pursuing his services.

However, according to The Star, the player could get another stint in England with Boro willing to utilise his experience in their top flight comeback next season.

The midfield enforcer has made 93 appearances during his second spell with the North London giants.
