Ex-Arsenal star Clichy, 36, signs new contract with Swiss club Servette with former team-mate Senderos sporting director | The Sun

FORMER Arsenal defender Gael Clichy has extended his stay at Swiss outfit Servette.

The left-back, 36, has signed a new one-year deal having first arrived at the club in 2020.

And the new deal means Clichy continues his working relationship with another former Gooner, Philippe Senderos.

The centre-back is sporting director at the club and played with Clichy at Arsenal between 2003-2010.

The pair helped the Gunners win the FA Cup in 2005 and were part of the squad that reached the Champions League final a year later.

They will be hoping to replicate that success at Servette with Clichy already helping the club to a third-placed finish in his first season, 2020-21.

Clichy is 37 later this month so could see out his career with Servette.

The Frenchman spent three years at Istanbul Başakşehir following a spell at Manchester City in which he became a Premier League champion.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are trying to sign a defender of their own – Ajax star Lisandro Martinez.

The defender has reportedly told Ajax he wants to leave but the Dutch champions remain stubborn over his asking price.
