Arsenal in talks with German defender Per Mertesacker
Arsenal are in advanced talks with Werder Bremen's German international defender Per Mertesacker.
The 26-year-old centre-back is captain for the Bundesliga side and reports suggested last week that he wanted to stay at the club.
Arsenal's pursuit of Mertesacker, who is 6ft 6in and has 75 caps for Germany, could end their interest in Bolton defender Gary Cahill.
But the Gunners are set to sign Brazilian left-back Andre Santos. www.bbc.co.uk
Well this is the sort of player that Arsenal have been needing, someone who is dominant in the back four who will take charge when the ball is in the air and someone whos not afraid to get stuck in and smash the ball into the stands when needed. Still think that there are better defenders out there but he should bring a little bit more solidarity to the back four if the deal goes through.
