New contract for talented Arsenal defender

Good news for Arsenal supporters: Swiss international central defender Johan Djourou is staying on at the Emirates for a long time.

Djourou had been shipped out on loan to Birmingham to get experience and some doubts had been expressed about whether the talented defender was in the mix for a first team place, but there seems to be no doubt anymore.

Is Djourou the right man to be the long term heir to Toure and Gallas?
