Havard Nordtveit joined Borussia Monchengladbach
Arsenal young right-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Håvard-Nordtveit-c15896 has joined the German League side, Borussia Monchengladbach for an undisclosed fee.

Borussia Monchengladbach is currently battling relegation zone and the young former Arsenal defender is aiming to help his new team to come out from the wrong side of the table.
Havard, who signed a three-year deal, said: "It's my goal to play as much as possible. I will do my utmost to break into the starting XI and will give everything to help the club forward. Monchengladbach have had some defensive problems, but I'm hopeful
that we'll return to winning ways after the winter break."
Moreover, Havard Nordtveit is one of the few players who have not featured even in a single match despite of being with the Gunners for 3 years.
Abou Diaby once again sidelined
It has been confirmed by the Gunners manager, Arsene Wenger, that Abou Diaby will be side-lined for few weeks after suffering a fresh injury.
