Arsenal's defender Per Mertesacker can finish his career.

In the current season, Mertezaker spent only 1 match in the Premier League for the Gunners, while experiencing frequent health problems.

According to the German, the right time has come to hang the boots on the nail.

"I was lucky because I had a wonderful career.

I want to finish it on a positive note, "said Per.

"I still have the motivation to play football, but health no longer allows me to go out on the field every three days".

"I already spoke with Wenger and told him that I am in a psychological pit. I think that I should not continue to play and it's time to finish with football ".

"Winning the FA Cup is a great time to retire," said Mertesacker in an interview with Sport1.

German defender stands for Arsenal since 2011.
