Still only 29, he will bring experience to the Arsenal side if he can stay fit, and he was a popular figure with fans during his previous spell in North London.
He played in the 2006 Champions League final defeat against Barcelona.
Upon leaving the club, Flamini had said: "Arsenal are in my heart and they will be in my heart for ever. I will always be an Arsenal fan and leaving was not easy."
While Arsenal fans will no doubt wish him well, they are justified in asking whether he is the top class signing that the club has been purportedly looking to make this summer.
The player had been training with the club over the past few weeks. Arsene Wenger told Arsenal.com:
"We are very pleased Mathieu has agreed to rejoin us. He is a player of real quality, with a fantastic work rate and great mentality. As we know, Mathieu is a strong midfielder, but is also is comfortable playing in defence too. He is a very good addition to our squad."
