Hleb could be next out of Emirates

Alexander Hleb looks set to join Mathieu Flamini on his way out of Arsenal after it was reported that he has agreed a four-year deal with Inter Milan. Flamini signed for AC Milan yesterday after turning down an offer of £55,000 a week - saying he wanted almost three times that amount. With two years remaining on his contract, Arsenal will face a battle to keep hold of Hleb with Wenger threatening to report Inter to FIFA for an illegal approach.

Flamini flew to Italy after Arsenal's 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, and dined at the Giannino restaurant owned by Milan and Brazil forward Kaka with club officials before having a medical.

He will compete for a place in midfield alongside Kaka and Italy trio Gennaro Gattuso, Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini.

Milan climbed into the final qualifying place for the Champions League on Sunday, leapfrogging Fiorentina.
