Arsenal's Per Mertesacker not interested in Bundesliga return

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has insisted that he is not interested in moving to Wolfsburg in the summer.

Last week talkSPORT reported that the German club's sporting director Klaus Allofs wanted to sign the centre-back.

"No, I don't consider a return to Germany," Mertesacker told Bild.

"I am under contract with Arsenal and I am planning to stay on at Arsenal for more years from now."

Mertesacker joined Arsenal from Werder Bremen in 2011.
