Arsenal have confirmed the signing of 29 year old French midfielder, Matthieu Flamini

Flamini would rejoin Arsenal after playing for Italian side AC Milan for 5 years. The Frenchman had 153 appearances for Arsenal between 2004-2008 before moving to AC Milan.

Flamini has been training with Arsenal after the expiration of his contract at AC Milan.

Arsene Wenger believes his addition would help to bolster the midfield and defence.

“We’re very pleased Mathieu has agreed to re-join us,” Arsène Wenger said. “He is a player of real quality, with a fantastic work rate and great mentality. As we know, Mathieu is a strong midfielder, but is also is comfortable playing in defence too. He is a very good addition to our squad.”
