Arsenal vice-captain Per Mertesacker believes the signing of Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal has given the squad enough depth.
Mertesacker believes it is just the acquisition which Arsenal needed, having seen the likes of Nacho Monreal, Calum Chambers and Debuchy having to step into a makeshift central role earlier in the season. He was quoted in ESPN: “We suffered a lot at times with injuries, but also with results. We want a very deep squad and we look much better now. He is a talent and I think we will get him to the level he needs because he has that potential. From my point of view, it is very promising because we were short at the back, especially in the centre position. We suffered a lot and had to change so many positions.”
