German sides Hannover and Hamburg are interested in a permanent transfer for Swiss international defender Johan Djourou. The player, currently under contract with Arsenal, spent last year on loan at Hannover.
The German side were sufficiently impressed with his performances and now are ready to make a permanent move for the player.
The Swiss international has so far struggled to attract any interest from some of Europe's biggest clubs after a mixed time at the Gunners.
Reports of a permanent deal were also confirmed by Hamburg.
"I know Johan very well from my time in Switzerland [with Basel]," said Oliver Kreuzer, Hamburg's sporting director. "He's a very interesting player and someone you have to look at if he comes on the market. He'd be a great solution for us in defence. We're interested in a loan, but also in buying him."
Meanwhile, Hannover are also locked in talks with Arsene Wenger's side in the hope that they can secure a second loan for the player.
