The agent of Arsenal defender Johan Djourou has hinted that his player could move to Italy or Spain this summer, with Serie A's Napoli a name in the mix.

The Switzerland star, 25, has a contract at Arsenal that runs until 2015, but is unhappy at his lack of playing time at the Emirates, and being played out of position by Arsene Wenger.

‌

Djourou, who prefers to play at centre-back, started just 14 times in the Premier League during the 2011/12 campaign with many appearances coming at right-back.

Now his agent, Flavio Ferraria, claims that Serie A side Napoli are interested in signing the former Birmingham City loanee.

“At the moment Napoli are not on the list of appointments but everything is possible. If he leaves the Premier League he will play in Italy or Spain,” Ferraria said.

“I saw my client the other day and he was enthusiastic about both Napoli and Italy in general. So far we have received an offer worth £10m.

“He wants to play for one of the top five Italian clubs.”
