Djoum Joins Dundee United

Lions midfeilder, Arnaud Sutchuin-Djoum has completed a move to Dundee United.

Dundee United manager, Liam Fox – secured the 33-year-old on a two-year deal after initially bringing him in on a trial basis to allow him the opportunity to win a deal at Tannadice. Fox, who worked with the player previously during their time together at Hearts, insists he knows exactly what he’s getting in his new player and he believes the experienced Cameroonian can add a different dimension to what he already has at his disposal.

“I’m delighted that Arnaud has signed for us,” said Fox. “I worked with him at Hearts and already knew his qualities. He’s a very talented midfielder who will give us a different option. He has a terrific pedigree and has been very impressive since joining us in training two weeks ago. He looks sharp and is determined to make an impact on Scottish football again.”

United sporting director Tony Asghar also expressed his pride at getting the deal over the line

He added: “When the opportunity arises to sign a player of Arnaud’s quality, you have to give it serious consideration. He perfectly fits the profile of the type of player we want at our club. He’s talented, experienced and an established international. We are confident Arnaud will be a valuable asset to us on the park and influential off it.

“He made an impact during his previous spell in Scotland and is well known to Liam from their time together at Hearts.

“We’ve worked hard to get this one over the line and expedited the work permit process to ensure he is available for selection as soon as possible.”

Arnaud Djoum has suffered some injury set backs in recent times, but if he stays fit, then he could get back to his very best. The midfeilder still has a fine case for the World Cup – for team Cameroon, as he could always provide another option.
