Arsenal set to offer Carzola and Mertesacker new contract



Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club are set to extend Santi Cazorla and Per Mertesacker's deals.

The duo have been linked away from Emirates as Carzola linked with away club in La Liga and Mertesacker linked with Bundesliga side.

"Cazorla and Mertesacker's contract renewal does not depend on their fitness," Wenger told the club's official website.

"We have an option on both of them and I think we will take it.

"We want to keep them for their qualities as football players firstly but as well for their mental guidance. We need to have a balance between youth and experience. They are important in that."

"Mertesacker is not close to a return," Wenger added. "He had a little calf problem.

"He is on the pitch but not close. He is still three or four weeks away, not more."
