Vissel Kobe signs Thomas Vermaelen



TOKYO: Japanese side Vissel Kobe have signed former Barcelona and Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen on a free transfer.

The Belgium international, 33, joined Barca from the Gunners in 2014, but his time at the Nou Camp was plagued by injuries and he was loaned to Roma for the 2016-17 season, BBC reported.

Despite playing just 53 games for Barcelona, he won four La Liga titles.

He joins ex-Barca players David Villa and Andres Iniesta at Vissel, plus German World Cup winner Lukas Podolski.
