Gunners move for German ace BY skysports
Arsenal are stepping up their hunt for a new defender with reports claiming the club have opened talks with Werder Bremen for Per Mertesacker.
Mertesacker himself has simply acknowledged that he is under contract with Werder, although he accepts that anything can happen in football.
"I have a contract at Werder Bremen and I like very much being at this club," he told BILD.
"However, this is football and in football one should never say never." [url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11095_7138513,00.html ]http://www.skysports.com/story/0,,11095_7138513,00.html [/url]
