http://www.imscouting.com/global-ne...ossible-on-Mesut-Ozil-say-Werder-Bremen/9251/ Arsenal target Per Mertesacker is staying at Werder Bremen , according to the Bundesliga outfit's general manager. "Per remains 100 percent committed to Werder!," Klaus Allofs told the Bild. "I have already said this several times. Nothing has changed. Per and his advisers have so far not commented due to a request from us. " However, Allofs was less certain about the future of midfield maestro Mesut Ozil , who has been targeted by a number of clubs, including Manchester United , Arsenal and Real Madrid. "Many clubs have expressed interest in him, but no concrete offers have been made," he said." If we get an offer, we will deal with it. Then anything is possible."
I just heard from an 'Arsenal insider' that Wenger missed today's press conference to tie up a move for a player. I'll keep you posted.
He also missed the youth game against Boreham Wood yesterday which he was scheduled to attend to see Wellington Silva's debut. It has also been confirmed that Fabregas is in London so this isn't related to the whole Barcelona bullshit. Sounds promising.
We have dropped out of the running for Ozil and Barcelona look to be the favorites (this is good news for Arsenal). The rumors surrounding Mertesacker have cooled. It doesn't look like he'll be coming to the Emirates.
