Pardew confirms Flamini talks

The former Arsenal player is a free agent now and is still looking for a club. The 32-year-old has been linked with a move to Nantes. 

Crystal Palace manager Pardew has confirmed that the 32-year-old is likely to join his team.

He told reporters: "Yes, there is scope to bring in one more into the squad - I did that on purpose as I thought there might be a player we can take who is not under contract, who might just fit what we're doing.

"Mathieu is a player I am looking at, yes. He would give us a bit more experience to winning games. I like the fact whenever he played, he played in the big, big games at Arsenal when they needed someone to kind of lead the team over the line and get big results".

He admits that Flamini has been on his listfor a long time and that he likes his talent:

"His age, 32, in my mind I signed Teddy Sheringham when he was 38, so the age isn't a problem for me. I think his experience is something I am looking at, yes".

We'll know within the next days which club he will join.
