Mertesacker aiming for ‘major titles’ at Arsenal after his ‘okay but not outstanding’ time as a playerPer Mertesacker has insisted that he and Mikel Arteta want to deliver the “major titles” to Arsenal that they failed to do as players.
Premier League titles and European success, however, were never in their grasp, but now – with Arteta in charge and takingto the top of the table and Mertesacker, in his role as academy manager, looking after the future of the club – the German is hoping they can fill that void. Signing for the club within hours of one another on transfer deadline day was just the start of a lasting relationship for the pair, Mertesacker eventually replacing Arteta as Arsenal captain when the Spaniard hung up his boots in 2016.
“In terms of ‘you are losing me now, you are asking me too late’ because he had promised to go to City. He told Ivan, ‘you can’t lose this guy. Just put him somewhere’.” Another Arsenal alumni, Jack Wilshere, is in charge of the side – a former Mertesacker team-mate who he was pleased to see join the fold.
