The agent of Johan Djourou admits the Arsenal defender may seek a loan departure in January.

The Switzerland international has struggled for first team action this season.

Agent Flavio Ferraria said: "Djourou is a professional, at Arsenal he's playing a little but hopes to play more. In January we will learn if the Gunners want to keep him or loan him. My client has played two matches in the League Cup, but it was a technical choice.

"The player is happy, maybe in a week he will play as a starter for Arsenal."
