The bit-part Milan player has stated that he still a fan of the Arsenal.(pic)Premier League: Mathieu Flamini, Arsenal London
Jose Anigo, the sporting director of Ligue 1 outfit Olympique de Marseille, once accused former midfielder Mathieu Flamini - currently of Milan - of committing "beautiful treason" against the club for the manner in which he exploited the system to broker his own move in 2004 to north London club Arsenal.
The same can arguably be said for the manner in which he left the Gunners, as many Arsenal fans feel the tireless running-man was a mercenary for the way in which he parted company with the club who made his name - dubbing him "Fla-money".
The 25-year-old, who has received three international caps for France, has today declared that he is, contrary to popular opinion at Ashburton Grove, still an Arsenal fan and that the club will "always be in [his] heart".He is quoted by the BBC as saying, "I will always be an Arsenal fan and leaving was not easy. I miss my team-mates. I'm very happy at Milan, but after four years at Arsenal we had very strong partnerships and it's normal to miss your team-mates."Regarding a possible return to the Premier League, he added, "Right now, I can't say if I would go back and play in England again because I'm here and I'm enjoying every day of my life – I'm having so much fun playing for this team – but we'll see. You never know."Thankfully, I'm still in contact with them all because they're still very important to me. I was very close to Cesc [Fabregas], Tomas Rosicky and the African and French guys."Everyone could see on the pitch that me and Cesc were very close and, off the pitch, we still are."Arsenal are in my heart and they will be in my heart forever."
