Johan Djourou is attracting Bundesliga interest from HSV Hamburg as his future remains up in the air.

The Swiss international spent the second half of last season on loan at Hannover 96, making 19 appearances in the German top flight, and there has been talk of him extending that deal into next season.

However, as with other situations, wages are an issue, and today Bild report that Hamburg have Djourou on their radar. Again, not as a permanent signing but for a season long loan.

Whether Arsenal have deigned Djourou to be as dispensable as players like Denilson, Bendtner, Chamakh and Park remains to be seen.

He’s still got some years left on his contract and the Gunners will try to maximise their return on a player who lost his way after showing some serious promise.
