Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi moves closer to Emirates exit

Arsenal’s Shkodran Mustafi is in the process of sealing a move away from the club, according to reports.

The 27-year-old has started just one Premier League match this term and doesn’t seem to be in new boss Mikel Arteta’s future plans.

Now Fotomac are reporting that the German’s agent is set to fly out to Turkey to hold talks over a switch to Galatasaray.

Arsenal performances have picked up since Arteta’s arrival.

It’s claimed that Mustafi is expected to make a loan move to the Istanbul club, who are looking to replace Christian Luyindama following his ACL injury last year.

Arsenal paid Valencia £35million for the 2014 World Cup winner back, who started his professional career with Everton, in 2016.

Since then he has gone on to play 125 games for the North London side and helped them win the 2017 FA Cup.
