Arsenal still hoping to sign Germany defender

Arsenal are still hoping to complete the signing of Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi, according to reports in England. 

English media outlet talkSPORT are claiming that the Gunners are optimistic that a deal to sign the Germany international is still alive as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his defensive options. 

The same article states that Mustafi has already agreed a deal with the Gunners should Arsenal agree a fee with the La Liga outfit. 

However, Arsenal will turn their attentions to Bayer Leverkusen defender Omer Toprak or Fenerbahce’s Danish star Simon Kjaer if they fail to sign Mustafi.
