Defender: We’ll win it for Arsene

– Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker says the players are focused on winning the Europa League as well as their four remaining Premier League games to give departing manager Arsene Wenger the perfect send-off.

Wenger announced last Friday he would leave Arsenal at the end of the season, bringing an end to his nearly 22-year reign during which they won three Premier League titles and seven FA Cups.

European success eluded Arsenal under Wenger but they take on Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals tomorrow night. –
