Flamini likely to leave Arsenal

It looks like Mathieu Flamini is likely to leave Arsenal on a Bosman this summer as the Frenchman continues to stall over a new deal. Flamini has been offered a reported £50k a week, but Arsenal must be worried that the player has signed a deal with Serie A giants Juventus and vice-chairman Peter Hill-Wood remains concerned.

"We have made what we think is a pretty generous offer and we are waiting to hear whether he will accept or not," Hill-Wood said in the Daily Star.

"You just don't know nowadays. You think players have a pretty good life, but, somehow, someone persuades them the grass might be greener somewhere else.

"So I don't know the answer, all I know is we think we have pushed the boat out."
