Diaby signing is a "gift to French league"

Former Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has joined Marseille, the Ligue 1 side have announced.

The 29-year-old was released by the Gunners this summer, bringing an end to his injury-plagued stay in north London.

The Frenchman’s injury-hit career at Arsenal has been described by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as the biggest regret of his career.
