Defender keen on move to Arsenal

Arsenal target Shkodran Mustafi is keen on a £25million move to the Emirates.

The Gunners have an interest in the 24-year-old Valencia centre-back as they hunt for a new defender following an injury that’s set to keep Per Mertesacker on the sidelines until around Christmas.

Highly-rated Germany international Mustafi, who had a spell at Everton as a youngster, has a £42.1m clause in his contract.

But he is understood to be interested in working with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, and it’s believed Valencia would be prepared to sell for around £25m.
