Shkodran Mustafi to Arsenal

Shkodran Mustafi
Shkodran Mustafi has been linked with a move to North London time and again

Injuries to Per Mertesacker and Gabriel means Arsenal have been forced to sign a central defender this summer. The Gunners have been strongly linked with a move for Shkodran Mustafi, and latest reports suggest Valencia want to sign Eliaquim Mangala before allowing Mustafi to leave the club.

Experts say: Reports in Spain suggest Arsenal are interested in Mustafi, but no bids have been reported yet.

Our take: Earlier, there were claims Arsenal have contacted Mustafi’s representatives, but a lot has been made out of this. Arsenal haven’t made a bid yet, so it’s difficult to say if it’s going to happen or not at this moment. Valencia need to sell players to keep FFP in check, and haven’t received offers for other players so they can certainly be forced to sell Mustafi, but for that Arsenal need to make an offer.

Chances of it happening: 6/10
