Put the street parties on hold, Gooners – Abou Diaby may not have actually left Arsenal, despite reports that the Frenchman had been released at the end of his contract yesterday.

The 29-year-old has endured a nightmare record with injuries for much of his Arsenal career, failing to ever truly recover from a tough challenge from a Sunderland player back in 2006.

Despite showing some promise when fit, many Arsenal fans have felt it is time for Diaby to leave the Emirates Stadium after failing to prevent further injury setbacks.

It finally looked as though the former Auxerre man had been let go by the Gunners, but the Metro has now made shock claims that these reports may be premature, with the club in talks over renewing his deal.
