Arsenal can confirm that Mathieu Flamini has re-signed for the Club.
The 29-year-old Frenchman, who made 153 appearances for Arsenal from
2004 to 2008, rejoins the Club after five years in Serie A with AC
Milan.
A tenacious and combative midfielder, Flamini was an integral part of
the Arsenal team which reached the Champions League final in 2006 and
also helped the Club win the FA Cup in 2005.
During the run to the Paris final in 2006, Flamini showed his
versatility by playing as a left back for much of the campaign, becoming
part of an Arsenal defence that racked up a record 10 consecutive clean
sheets in the Champions League.
During his time in Milan, Flamini made 122 overall appearances for
the Rossoneri, winning a Serie A title and the Supercoppa Italiana in
2011. He featured a total of 22 times for AC Milan last term.
Having come to the end of his contract with AC Milan at the end of
last season, Flamini had been maintaining his fitness at London Colney
this summer.
"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."
Mathieu will wear the number 20 shirt at Arsenal.
