Djourou recently signed a new Arsenal contract
|
Arsenal defender Johan Djourou has agreed to join newly-promoted Birmingham on loan until January.
The 20-year-old Switzerland international is Steve Bruce's 10th signing of the summer.
Djourou made 30 first-team appearances for Arsenal last season and signed a new six-year contract.
But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger wants him to gain regular first-team experience and he goes straight into Bruce's squad to face Chelsea.
"I honestly think that Djourou can be an Arsenal defender for 10 years," said Bruce.

606: DEBATE
|
"He has got strength, pace, great ability on the ball, is a very good footballer and is comfortable at the back and in midfield.
"We have a good relationship with Arsenal having taken Nicklas Bendtner, Fabrice Muamba and Sebastian Larsson on loan last season, and I am delighted Arsene Wenger has allowed Johan to join us."
