Mathieu Flamini

The former Arsenal man arrived on a free transfer from North London during the transfer window and he has been impressive so far.

Mathieu Flamini is enjoying his time with Milan and believes he can achieve good results this term as he looks to learn from the best.

"I settled down straight away when I arrived here and it was nice to see Philippe Senderos, who I already knew from Arsenal," Flamini told Calcio 2000. "I also became friends with Ronaldinho, as he speaks French.

"It's different here at Milan. At Arsenal everyone was really young. Here there are better players and I can learn more things...it's fantastic to play alongside three Golden Ball winners."

The midfielder also denied rumours suggesting that he was on the verge of joining Juventus.

"A lot of journalists had written that I was close to Juve, but there was never anything concrete. I recieved offers from several big clubs from Spain, but I just couldn't refuse Milan," added the player.

Il Diavolo are flying high this term and are just a point behind league leaders Inter following the controversial 1-0 win over Chievo Verona.
