Mertesacker: Dortmund will be tough

12 September 2011 - 07:31

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker fears that Borussia Dortmund will be a huge challenge for the Gunners, who are preparing for this week's Champions League tie in Germany.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso
  • Mertesacker knows of Borussia Dortmund very well, having watched them win the Bundesliga last year.



    "Dortmund were the best team in Germany last year, they do a good job passing the ball and have great players," said the former Werder Bremen man.



    "It will be difficult for us but I know we have very good players and I'm confident we can get a result.



    "Dortmund are the toughest opponent in our group, so we will be very happy if we can take something from this match."
