at least according to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.

reportedly already on his way back to Los Angeles.

When Arsene Wenger agreed to let Johan Djourou leave Arsenal in January to play for the Bundesliga club Hannover, he may have been hoping that one of the young players coming through the ranks at Arsenal would step up and push for the first team.
