Former Arsenal ace Djourou: New Gunners signing Xhaka reminds me of this World Cup winner
FORMER Arsenal defender Johan Djourou is impressed with the Gunners’ latest signing Granit Xhaka.
Johan Djourou is international team-mates with Arsenal newboy Granit Xhaka
The 29-year-old is team-mates with Arsene Wenger’s newest recruit for the Switzerland national team.
And he is backing the ex-Borussia Monchengladbach man to be a success after Xhaka completed his £30million move to the Emirates yesterday.
Djourou spent 10 years on Arsenal’s books but failed to win a single trophy at the club.
He made 140 appearances for the Gunners before joining Bundesliga side Hamburg on a permanent deal in 2014.
