On Friday morning, Arsène Wenger announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the 2017/18 season.
We caught up with club captain Per Mertesacker for his reaction to the news. Scroll down to read what he said:
on Wenger’s announcement…
We have just been informed basically. It is quite emotional. Obviously he has been at the club for such a long time, he has been so supportive to me. One major reason why I’m here is because of him. It’s been emotional and there will be time to digest it but it is a sad feeling right now.
