Mathieu Flamini is set to leave Arsenal at the end of the season,.
The France international, who conceded a late penalty as the Gunners lost to Barcelona on Tuesday evening. is yet to be offered a new contract at the Emirates Stadium having returned to North London from Milan on a free transfer in the summer of 2013.

The World Cup Group E opener between Costa Rica and Serbia was settled by the stunning goal that the occasion deserved.
These two sides began their Russia 2018 campaign under sunny Samara skies on Sunday but despite the abundant quality on show, profligacy was the underlying theme until Aleksandar Kolarov struck in spectacular fashion just prior to the hour to earn a 1-0 win for his side.
It had been an eventful start for the Serbia captain, who sparked fears by going down clutching his knee during the warm-up and then within eight minutes had been caught out of position to hand Marcos Urena an opportunity, crashed into the same man at full tilt and smashed a trademark 30-yard howitzer comfortably wide.
Shortly before Kolarov s marvellous free-kick, his team-mate…
Sven-Goran Eriksson heaped praise on former pupil Diego Simeone, insisting the Atletico Madrid coach is an example to follow in world football.
Simeone played under Eriksson at Lazio for two years and the Argentine boss has since gone to turn Atletico into a resolute and genuine European powerhouse.

Atletico second in the league and in the Champions League semi-finals are once again vying for silverware this season, much to the delight of Shanghai SIPG boss Eriksson.
I am cheering for Atletico Madrid and Simeone, Eriksson told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
His football intrigues me, and we …

The Daily Star understands that AC Milan could be set to make a move for Chelsea winger Willian when the transfer window reopens in January.

Alvaro Morata was not the third-choice signing as he was always a priority for Juventus, insists head coach Andrea Pirlo.
Spain striker Morata sealed his return to Turin on an initial season-long deal from Atletico Madrid, with Juve retaining an option to make the deal permanent for €45million or pay an additional €10m to loan him for a further campaign.
