Transfer news: Former Arsenal duo Emmanuel Adebayor and Mathieu Flamini set to be reunited at Turkish club

Former Arsenal pair Emmanuel Adebayor and Mathieu Flamini are set to join Turkish side Caykur Rizespor.

The duo are free agents after Adebayor was released by Crystal Palace and Flamini failed to secure a contract extension at Arsenal.

However, the pair both look set to continue their playing careers in Turkey after Caykur Rizespor coach Hikmet Karaman revealed negotiations were close to be finalised.

"We reached an agreement in principle with both players," Karaman told Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

"They'll come to Rize within a few days and the last step of negotiations are going to be done.
