Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Shkodran Mustafi - agent

SHKODRAN MUSTAFI has agreed personal terms with Arsenal.

By Jack Wilson                    

That’s according to his agent Ali Bulut, who claims all that is left is for the Gunners to agree terms with Valencia.
Bulut told Spox: “Shkodran and Arsenal have reached an agreement, the clubs now only have to agree on the fee.”
The 24-year-old is valued at around £20m and his arrival would help ease Arsenal’s defensive crisis.
With days to go until the Premier League season kicks off, Arsene Wenger is desperately short of centre-backs.
Per Mertesacker could be sidelined for five months with a knee injury while Gabriel Paulista is out for two months with an ankle problem.
It means Calum Chambers and rookie signing Rob Holding, brought in from Bolton this summer, are likely to have to start against Liverpool on Sunday.
Germany international Mustafi was left out of Valencia’s team for their friendly with a Nigeria all-star team last night.
It was the first big hint that he could be on his way out the club.

Wenger has splashed out £29m on Granit Xhaka but admits the transfer window has left him frustrated.
He said: "We have to follow the prices paid by other people.
"That has gone up because the availability of money is much higher."
