Alexander Hleb joins Turkish side Genclerbirligi

Former Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb has agreed to join Turkish club Genclerbirligi.

The 33-year-old playmaker had originally spent 12 months at Konyaspor where he scored twice in 31 games, but Hleb has now joined the club's rivals after the Konya side agreed to cancel his contract.

Genclerbirligi took to Twitter to announce the news earlier today:

Hleb notched 130 appearances for the Gunners before moving to Spanish giants Barcelona in 2008.
