Gunners could be set to keep Abou Diaby.

Diaby burst onto the scenes as an exciting and powerful midfield player during his early time at Arsenal, but injuries soon began to define the player and he has become something of a running joke in recent seasons, making Wenger’s comments seem particularly intriguing.
It had been widely expected that Diaby would be leaving the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season when his contract expires – but it would appear that the Frenchman can earn himself a future at the club if he is able to move past his injury issues.
