阿森纳官方宣布与瑞士后卫乔鲁成功续约。
21岁的乔鲁在2003年夏天加盟枪手，迄今为止，乔鲁已经为阿森纳队出场51次，在06-07赛季，乔鲁为阿森纳在各项赛事中出战30次。
07-08赛季上半赛季，乔鲁被租借到伯明翰队，为伯明翰出场13次。12月份乔鲁重返阿森纳，但因为有伤，乔鲁仅仅是在上赛季联赛的最后阶段才得到了两次出场机会。
乔鲁出生在科特迪瓦，在瑞士日内瓦长大，2002年欧洲U17锦标赛，乔鲁作为主力为瑞士青年队夺冠立下了汗马功劳。2002年10月，阿森纳主帅温格邀请乔鲁来枪手试训，2003年夏天，16岁的乔鲁由瑞士丙级队Etoile Carouge正式加盟阿森纳。
乔鲁有着1米92的身材和出色的爆发力，尽管年仅21岁，但乔鲁已经先后参加了2006年德国世界杯和2008年于瑞士和奥地利举行的欧洲杯。作为阿森纳的一名后防球员，在森德罗斯被温格租借到AC米兰的情况下，乔鲁可望在新赛季获得更多的出场机会。
