Per Mertesacker has always been a fan of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 – Premier League Update
Arsenal’s German defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 has gone on to admit that he has always been following the Gunners and has been a fan of the team since he was a little boy.
Arsenal went on to sign the defender from Werder Bremen on the deadline day of the transfer window, in order to bring in experience and a sense of stability to their back line.
Mertesacker is now set to make his debut for the Gunner this weekend, when he takes to the field to take on Swansea in an Arsenal jersey, for the very first time.
Despite the Gunners not getting their season off to a flying start, Mertesacker still believes that Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world and that he would do his best to help the team regain its former glory.
When talking about him joining Arsenal, Mertesacker is quoted to have said: “It’s exciting to be here but I have a lot of experience in football so that is OK for me. I am very happy and I am very glad to be here”
He then went on to talk about the team’s European presence as he added:
“Arsenal is one of the top teams in Europe and I have been looking out for Arsenal since I got my first jersey when I was ten or 12. Arsenal has always been special for me.”
Despite only being twenty six years old, Mertesacker has managed to make a massive seventy six appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and that in itself is a massive indicator to the players abilities. It is not very common for such a young player to make so many appearances
for a national side, but Mertesacker definitely possesses a little something special, to have impressed for so long.
The player went on to be called up to the German national squad in 2004 and has since then gone on to make two world cup appearances for Germany.
Due to the experience that he has gained in his career already, Mertesacker feels that it won’t be very hard for him to adjust to life in the Premier League and that is going to help him and Arsenal do better in the future.
The player then ended by adding: “It is a little bit easier if you have played a World Cup for Germany and I hope I can use my experiences in my career”
“We met http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and that is a great experience I have. But I also have to improve myself and that should be my first thought."
