Flamini going nowhere

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has today denied reports that Mathieu Flamini has agreed a deal to sign for Serie A giants Juventus.

It comes after reports in Italy claimed that the French midfielder had agreed a deal in principle to sign for the Turin based club but Wenger has moved quickly to deny the rumours.

When asked about the situation Wenger remarked : "No. Juventus called me and told that they weren't interested in Mathieu."

Flamini has been one of the Gunners top performers this year, keeping Gilberto Silva out of the side in the process. Although he has not agreed a deal with Arsenal yet, Wenger is confident that he can tie the 24-year old down to a long-term deal at the Emirates within the next few weeks.
