Gael Clichy has told setantasports.com that Arsenal will miss Mathieu Flamini if the top class midfielder moves to Juventus in the summer.

France international Flamini has refused to commit his future to Arsenal for the moment and Serie A giants Juve have approached the player whose contract is up at the end of the season.

"You have many examples of players, like Lassana Diarra, who just arrived and decided to leave after five months, now he is playing regularly and is a fantastic player," Clichy said.

"Sometimes it's a good choice to leave, sometimes it's a bad choice to leave. It's really up to him you know.

"You can say that if he moves to Juve he will be playing regularly and that would be the perfect choice.

"But if he leaves and is not played people will say he made a mistake.

"The only person who can say something about that is Mathieu.

"We will see in a few weeks or in a few months what he will decide but it would be a big blow to lose Mathieu because he has been great this season and he is a great guy.

"But once again it's his decision and he will decide what he wants to do."
