Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has selected Mathieu Flamini as Arsenal’s ‘Man of the Year’.
It’s not the first time the Ox has singled out the Frenchman for praise, nominating him earlier in the year as the most suitable Prime Minister in the Arsenal squad.

In a fresh acclaim of the work Flamini has carried out this year, the Ox gave a tongue-in-cheek appreciation for the midfielder’s work in co-founding a pioneering geo-energy business which could revolutionise the energy industry.
GF Biochemical was set-up in 2008 by Flamini alongside a like-minded business partner and became public a few months back.
Flamini also established himself as a goalscoring midfielder with two goals in the Capital One Cup game against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
The Ox had some kind words to for the 31-year-old.
My man of 2015? I think it has to be Mathieu Flamini. Everything that has been going on around this guy lately…he’s just smashed it ain’t he?
I don’t even know what he’s doing but I’ve always said, I think you can go through the archives, that Mathieu Flamini is taking over the world from within the Arsenal dressing room. He’s proven me right. Also his two goals against Tottenham Hotspur were just unbelievable. That was a great moment to be a part of.
Flamini was also included in the NME “People of the Year’ list alongside Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Star Wars director JJ Adams.
The inclusion of the 12 strong list of people came from his business exploits rather than his footballing.
Oxlade-Chamberlain continued with his eulogy of Flamini on the sporting front.
Obviously, for him to score two goals like that in the derby…I mean I think he was our holding midfielder on the day.
He’s scored a rebound from one of my shots in the first half, I don’t know what he was doing up there but it was a good finish. And then the volley was just a great goal.
Every time he’s been asked to play he’s done a great job for us coming on and being the quality player he is.
And obviously all that stuff with his business, he’s just unbelievable. So Flam is the man of the year for me.
