Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini looks set to sign for Serie A side Milan after arriving in Italy on Sunday evening.

The out-of-contract France international has been in inspired form this season, forming an impressive partnership with Cesc Fabregas in the heart of The Gunners' midfield.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had been keen to hold onto the 24-year-old, however Milan claimed on Sunday that a deal had been struck to take him to Rossoneri.

The former Marseille man has now arrived in Milan, with reports suggesting he will put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal worth in the region of €5million (£3.9million) a season, if he successfully completes a medical.

Official confirmation of Flamini's move to the Italian giants is expected later on Monday.
