Flamini 'very Happy' to Stay at Arsenal

The Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has moved to reassure fans that he sees his future at the Emirates, saying there is "no limit" to what the young side can achieve.

Frenchman Flamini, 23, is enjoying some of his best form at Arsenal and was instrumental in last night's victory over AC Milan, but his contract expires at the end of this season, leaving him free to talk to other clubs about a possible transfer.

Italian giants Juventus have been linked with a move for Flamini, who made his debut for France against Morocco in November, but he has stated his desire to be part of Arsenal's future, as contract talks - thought to be held up over wages - enter a delicate phase. "I am very happy here. Every game I give more than 100% and I love playing for this team," he insisted.

"We are a new generation, we have to create a new history. I want to be part of this history, so I hope I will be here for next season. At the moment my advisers are talking with the club, so I really hope that everything will be okay.

"I cannot put a time on it, but I really want to stay here. What is important for a player is to play and I am playing. I am becoming more and more confident and I want to take more responsibility."

And Flamini, whose current form is keeping Brazil veteran Gilberto on the bench, is convinced that Arsenal will win silverware this season. "There are no limits because we are playing the Champions League to win it. We are playing the Premier League to win it too. To concentrate is very important at a very high level. So we are going to stay focused.

"Everybody said that Arsenal was a young side with less experience. Remember that only two years ago we went to the Champions League final and a lot of our players now were in that team. We have added quality to the team. We are stronger, we have more experience, so I am sure we will do a good job in the Champions League."
