Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is determined to keep Alex Hleb at Emirates Stadium and admitted that he was left ‘disappointed’ by Mathieu Flamini leaving the Gunners.

Hleb is persistently linked with Inter Milan, and could invoke the 'Webster Clause' to buy-out his remainder of contract with the Gunners, reports have suggested. Moreover, Wenger has been angered by the Italian club’s alleged illegal move for the Belarus midfielder and is planning to report Inter to FIFA.

"What people say about the buy-out clause, it is not as simple as it looks," Wenger said on the club’s official website. "It is much more difficult and the clubs are reluctant to do that [invoke the 'Webster Clause'].

"We want to keep Hleb, we want him to be part of our team next year. It is as simple as that. We have lost one player [Mathieu Flamini], we do not want to lose more."

The Frenchman, however, admitted that he is "disappointed" that 24-year-old midfielder Flamini did not extend his stay in north London. The France international will move to AC Milan in the summer transfer period as his contract expires.

Speaking at a forum for Arsenal's shareholders, Wenger said: "I must say I am disappointed that he did that - but legally he can do it.

"But I hope that 95% of the team, the core of the team, says 'come on, we have only just lost'.

"And it is just, because we were leading at Manchester United, we were leading at Chelsea and we were leading at Liverpool in the Champions League - and every time we just lost a little bit of focus and lost the game.

"Let's come back and show we are winners. That is the real target of the team."
