After the loss of potential striker Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli to Juventus for a whopping 75 million pounds and Lyon rejecting a 30 million pound bid for Alexander Lacazette, Arsenal fans get more bad news, in the form of an injury to their tall center back Per Mertesacker.

The 31-year old suffered a knee injury in the friendly match against Lens, which will allow him to join his teammate and striker Danny Welbeck, who along with MertesackerAwill be out till the new year.

This means that the Gunneras manager will have to either look to buy a new center back or look to loan one out, given the fact that Laurent Koscienly has been given a break after the Euro 2016 and Gabriel Paulista missed the US tour as he was suffering fromAtonsillitis.
