Arsenal set £22.3m asking price for enforcer

Arsenal are willing to part with Shkodran Mustafi this summer.

Reports in Turkey say the north Londoners have slapped a £22.3m price-tag on the Germany international.

Fanatik claim Super Lig outfit Galatasaray SK had an initial loan offer for Shkodran Mustafi rebuffed by Arsenal.

Mustafi was linked with a major move to Inter Milan last summer, but the Gunners chose to hang on to the defender.

The former Valencia CF defender appears to have fallen down the pecking order under Unai Emery.

Mustafi, 26, could face an uphill battle to claim a starting spot in Emery’s matchday fold next term after the arrival of Greek enforcer Sokratis Papastaphopoulos from Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal have extensive plans to progress the likes of Rob Holding, Calum Chambers and Konstantinos Mavropanos and it appears they are content with Mustafi leaving the Emirates.
