Arsenal are close to
agreeing a one-year contract extension for captain Per Mertesacker, it was revealed last week that the club has an option to extend his
existing contract, which expires at the end of the season
The
32-year-old has not played for Arsenal this season after suffering a serious
knee injury in pre-season, which required surgery. The German was Arsene Wenger's first-choice
centre-back last season, making 36 appearances, and he has made over 200 in all
competitions since his £8m move from Werder
Bremen in 2011.
Mertesacker,
who has won two FA Cups with the Gunners, began his career at Hannover 96 before a five-year spell at
Werder Bremen. He is a World Cup winner with Germany and has over 100
international caps.
