The 29-year-old has slowly seen his first team chances dwindling since joining Arsenal, and may look for regular action elsewhere.
Before he makes a decision he wants to hold talks with Arsene Wenger however, to find out exactly where he stands at the North London club.
“On a transfer, the matter needs to be resolved because it cannot go on,” he said.
“I am not 20 or 21 years old, I don’t want to wait for my chance. I am 29. I want to play, play, play!
“What more can I do than what I’m doing? I played in the first team in the Champions League, scored two goals. Then again I got benched. I do not know what more I need to show the coach.
“[Wenger] is not blind, he sees how much I give. He is also accountable for the results, I understand, but in the next few days I’m going to talk with him. I want to know what the club has intended for me.”
With a number of top quality players ahead of him in the pecking order, his situation is unlikely to change over night. His work-rate leaves a lot to be desired, and Wenger is clearly not seeing enough from him in training.
