Arsenal’s new Academy manager and former Gunners captain Per Mertesacker has been speaking about how delighted he is to welcome the 41-year-old back to the club:

“It’s great to have Freddie back at the club. He brings great footballing experience and the highest possible levels of enthusiasm, energy and encouragement for our young professionals.”
