David Beckham is a great player and I hope in the next few years we'll be signing players of such stature, but not now." However, Fernandes then tweeted: "I think having someone like David in the club would be great. Was always in my thoughts. Let's see." Chelsea youngsters Romelu Lukaku and Josh McEachran could be loaned out in January to aid their development.

Mertesacker to finally join Arsenal

Germany defender Per Mertesacker is both nervous and excited about joining Arsenal after collecting his belongings and saying farewell to family, friends and neighbours in Bremen.

 He has been on international duty since the deal went through and has therefore only had a very fleeting glimpse of his new surroundings when he jetted in and out for a medical last week. "It is exciting," he said to Germany's dpa agency. After "saying my goodbyes to individuals to whom I have a lot to thank", he will fly out to London for the start of his new adventure and he admits it will be emotional. 

He added: "It is a new phase in my life and I am really looking forward to it, but I also feel nervous. It is like before the first day at school. "Now I have a new challenge in a new country, a new style of play and a new language and I am ready for it." Mertesacker returned to national team duty in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Poland after being left out of the 6-2 win over Austria on Friday, and he was delighted to be back in action after a demanding week. 

"It was great to be part of the team again," he said, acknowledging at the same time that he is now under even more pressure to deliver the goods for Arsenal. "It is going to be an open race for places - we have a lot of options for next year (at Euro 2012) in the centre of the defence. "There are four or five top players there." Eurosport
