Arsenal academy boss Per Mertesacker has revealed that his club are in a 'good position' to sign Man City's treble winning captain Ilkay Gundogan this summer on a free transfer.
Gundogan lifted the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League as Man City captain this season, with the latter completing a historic treble on Saturday night. Gundogan, 32, sees his contract expiring this summer and is yet to agree terms on a new deal.
Mertesacker played with Gundogan with Germany between 2011 & 2014 and has suggested that he may see it as being 'mission accomplished' at City following the treble win. Speaking as a pundit for German broadcaster ZDF, the former Arsenal defender said the Gunners are definitely in the mix.
