Per Mertesacker has big ambitions for the Arsenal academy.
The former Gunners captain took charge last season.
He stated, You really want to build the best connection between players and fans, so everyone feels this is the best club. A culture where everyone trusts each other, that we can be world class again.
I want to make a world-class academy, that everyone feels we get the best talent towards the first team.
The first-team manager right now wants to bring us back to the Champions League.
The new technical director wants to deliver the best recruitment probably, which the club has not seen for a long time.
So everyone has small targets but we want to have the trust and connection from the fans that the people in charge can deliver."
