Flamini set to wave goodbye

Mathieu Flamini is set to make his Emirates swansong against Everton on Sunday.

The Frenchman is expected to quit Arsenal for AC Milan at the end of the season after failing to agree terms on a new contract.

Flamini, 24, was given until the end of last month to decide on his future but is set to leave as the Italians can offer him £1million-a-season more.

Speculation is growing that Alexander Hleb is poised to sign for Inter Milan but he will not be able to say farewell to the fans as he is banned for the rest of the campaign.

Striker Robin van Persie will sit out Sunday's game after suffering a hamstring strain so Arsene Wenger will hand another chance to fringe players such as Lukasz Fabianski, Denilson and Nicklas Bendtner.
