It looks like Arsenal are
on the verge of signing Valencia and German international Shkodran Mustafi with
the news that they are ready to trigger player’s release clause of £43.5m. The
24 year old defender has been heavily linked with the Emirates and they badly
wants a defender as their two main center backs Gabriel and Per Mertesackar
received injury in the pre-season friendly. Arsene Wenger wants him in the
squad before gameweek 1 against Liverpool clash on Sunday.
Meanwhile another
Wenger target Riyad Mahrez seems Arsenal are struggling to meet Leicester City’s
star man’s release clause of £50m. Arsenal offer £43m, some of them are
potential add-ons for the Algerian international but city are not willing to
let their star forward go below £50m.
Riyad Mahrez, who was surprisingly
emerged and his sensational performance in the last season earned him PFA
player of the year as well as helping Leicester City to win their first ever
Barclays Premier League title. But yesterday reports emerged that the striker wants
a move away from Leicester to make life more difficult for the current
Champions Leicester. If this deal happens, then
Leicester title defense could fall badly and it is not easy to replace that
kind of a player.
