Arsenal are expected to complete the signing of former Gunner Mathieu Flamini later this week.
The 29-year-old France midfielder, who made 102 Premier League appearances for the London club between 2004 and 2008, is currently a free agent after being released by AC Milan earlier this summer.
He began training with Arsenal two weeks ago and, according to BBC Sport, he is likely to sign a short-term contract at the Emirates Stadium in the coming days.
Flamini could feature in Saturday's match at Fulham.
