Arsenal defender Johan Djourou admits a move away from Birmingham City is out of his hands.

Last season the Ivory Coast-born defender started 18 league games for the Gunners and was a substitute in a further three.

He had earlier revealed he was not sure where his future lay in January.

Djourou said on Sky Sports News: "Obviously I love my club Arsenal and if they want me back, hopefully it will be for a good reason.

"I want to play there as well.

"It is a difficult choice but I have to accept what the manager (Arsene Wenger) is going to do.

"I would be happy in both situations."
