Gervinho: Trabzonspor complete signing of former Arsenal and Parma star

The 33-year-old is set to play top-flight football in Turkey next season following the Yellow and Blues' relegation from Serie A

Trabzonspor have signed Gervinho from Italian club Parma on a two-year deal.

The Super Lig club announced the arrival of the Ivory Coast international on Wednesday alongside Brazil's Bruno Peres, who joined on a free transfer from Roma.

The former Arsenal forward has scored five goals in 27 matches in the just-concluded Serie A season but his contributions were not enough to keep Parma in the Italian top-flight.
