Zelalem released by Den Bosch after Arsenal stint

"Yesterday, our club technical director Bernard Schuiteman announced that we have mutually agreed with Gedion to terminate his contract. This decision was made in the best interests of both Gedion and FC Den Bosch, as he was not in alignment with our plans for the A-selection."

“That is a pity, because under the previous technical management his contract was extended in the meantime and he was one of the intended key players for the future. With new people come new ideas and in Gedion's position that has led to different choices. That is a pity from a human point of view, but Gedion, who has been around professional football for a long time, knows how it works.

“He has also dealt with this disappointing situation in an extremely professional manner. A footballer must train at a level with other footballers and play matches. We hope that Gedion will soon get that chance in a team where he fits better. We wish him every success and thank him for his commitment to FC Den Bosch.”
