"Bremen does not reject the possibility of selling defender Per Mertesacker, who is of interest to London's Arsenal.

"We will consider the possibility of selling Per," said Werder's general manager Klaus Allofs. "We promised him that serious offers will be considered."

The English club is looking for a center-back, but so far has not found reinforcement in this position. It has been mentioned that players like Phil Jagielka, Christopher Samba and Gary Cahill are being watched.

On Saturday, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger stated that he expects to see a top-class newcomer in the team next week."
