Report: Arsenal accept £4m Mathieu Flamini bid

Arsenal have reportedly accepted a £4m bid from Galatasaray for defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini.

The 31-year-old has recently been heavily linked with the Turkish side, who have already secured Lukas Podolski from the Gunners during this transfer window.

According to Eurosport, Galatasaray want Flamini to replace Felipe Melo, who is expected to leave Istanbul this summer, and are now in talks with the Frenchman after agreeing a fee with the North London side.

Flamini joined Arsenal for a second time from AC Milan in 2013, having previously played for Arsene Wenger's side from 2004 to 2008.
