Djourou Favours Switzerland

Young Arsenal defender, Johan Djourou, has pledged his alligence to the Swiss national team, rather than the team of his place of birth, the Ivory Coast.

Djourou’s future has been set by his call up to the Swiss squad who face Scotland at Hampden Park .

The 19 year old is chomping at the bit to impress his new coach.

‘When Mr Kuhn rang me, I was so excited. I did not expect to play in the first team.

‘I want to show my qualities against Scotland as best as possible.’

Djourou has played extremely well when asked to deputise for the endless list of injuries suffer at Arsenal this season.
