Arsenal are expected to confirm the signing of Mathieu Flamini in the coming days.

The Daily Mail says the club's chief negotiator Dick Law flew into London from the US this week and his first piece of business was talks with Flamini.

Law held a meeting with the 29-year-old defensive midfielder and his agent at around 1pm, with a deal expected to be confirmed before the weekend.
