Liam Fox admits it might be a bit of a "risk" to offer a contract to Arnaud Djoum. But having worked closely with the midfielder at Hearts, he reckons it might just be one worth taking.
33-year-old Djoum has been out of contract since leaving Apol Limassol in the summer and has joined Dundee United on a trial spell as he looks to earn an SPFL return. He left Hearts for Saudi side Al-Raed in July 2019 after four years at Tyencastle where he racked up 132 appearances where he scored a number of key goals - including a stunner against Hibs - and made himself a fan favourite prior to his departure.
He's returned to Scotland after leaving leaving Cypriot side Limassol and has been training with the Tannadice team in a bid to win a contract. Fox, who worked closely with him while coaching at Tynecastle, says his fitness levels are "really good" - and believes he has the quality to help turn his struggling side around if offered a deal.
