Gunners midfielder is keen to stay
 |
| Gilberto Silva |
ARSENAL midfielder Gilberto Silva has reiterated his desire to remain at the club following the departure of Mathieu Flamini to AC Milan.
The Frenchman displaced the World Cup winner from his central midfield berth this season and the Brazilian has been forced to settle for the occasional foray from the bench.
However Flamini's exit has given Gilberto hope that he can regain his place in the side, despite reports linking him to a move away from the Emirates.
"I want to stay at the club," Gilberto said in The Daily Star. "I enjoy being at Arsenal - the people, the atmosphere, the football, everything about it here.
"I don't know if the club have received any offers and the situation could change if the club gets one.
"Then we will speak about it and sort out what is best for both of us.
"I plan to go on holiday back to Brazil to think things over and see what happens.
"But at the moment I plan to return to the club after my holiday because I do not know what the club are thinking.
"I cannot say whether I will be here or not next season.
"Managers make plans, but then things happen at the end of the season that they didn't expect to happen."
