Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal are willing to hand new contracts to experienced duo Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla, according to manager Arsene Wenger. Both Mertesacker and Cazorla’s expire in the summer but the Frenchman has insisted that the duo will be staying with the North London club.
Wenger said in his press conference: “We have an option on both of them and I think we will take it. The priority first is as football players but as well for their mental guidance.
"We need to have a balance between youth and experience and they are important in that as well.”
