Official: Djourou leaves SPAL

SPAL have officially terminated the contract of former Arsenal defender Johan Djourou.

A statement on SPAL’s official website also thanked Djourou for ‘the professionalism and dedication shown in his few months as a SPAL player’.

The Switzerland international, who turns 32 on Friday, only joined the Ferrara side last summer but went on to make just five Serie A appearances.
