Setantasports.com understands Arsenal centre back Johan Djourou could be set to be loaned to French side Rennes with an option for a permanent switch before the transfer window ends.
The Switzerland international struggled to be part of Arsene Wenger’s plans in the past, and his displays during pre-season friendlies, against FC Twente and West Bromwich Albion, failed to impress his manager.
Ligue 1 outsiders Rennes, a French club that fancy signing Premier League players, have emerged as a possible destination for Djourou following the arrival of the experienced Mikael Silvestre at Emirates Stadium.
Stade Rennais signed Erik Edman and Mario Melchiot in the past, then Carlos Bocanegra last July, and could add another ex-Premier League defender to their squad.
The Gunners are rumoured to be highly interested in the services of Rennes Cameroon international Stephane Mbia, strongly linked to Everton as well, and sending Djourou to Brittany could help this transfer happen.
