Diaby, who looked a real capture and another Arsene Wenger gemwhen he arrivedin north London from Auxerre in January 2006,played only twice in his final two seasons with Arsenal and just four appearances for Marseille in 2015/16.
Despite spending nine and a half years as an Arsenal player, Diaby played fewer than 200 total times for the Gunners, peaking between 2008 and 2010 when he managed 76 games.
