Didier Deschamps: 'Mathieu Flamini has found a good level'

France coach Didier Deschamps has revealed that Mathieu Flamini is on his radar after a strong start to the season with Arsenal.

Flamini has impressed since rejoining the Gunners on a free transfer in August, after deciding not to take up the offer of a one-year contract at AC Milan.

Deschamps has declared that he will keep a close eye on Flamini, leaving the door open for a potential Les Blues recall.

He told reporters: "I am watching Flamini. He had a difficult season last year, but he has found a good level. I am attentive."

The 29-year-old made the last of his three appearances for France more than five years ago.
