Arsene Wenger’s tempo in the transfer market often generates the thought that he may be better suited to the world of cricket.<\/p>\n
And it must be infuriating for Arsenal fans to see how slowly these deals generally get done when the club has been positively aching for a top centre back and a top striker for years.<\/p>\n
But all may not be lost. Because if Arsenal can get a deal over the line for Shkrodan Mustafi the club will immediately improve their first XI and have found a perfect successor for the ever slowing Per Mertesacker. Merstesacker is an able and highly experienced player who can still play an important squad role.<\/p>\n
But it’s time that The Gunners freshened up with a truly convincing partner for Laurent Koscielny. And Mustafi looks like the real deal.<\/p>\n
Reports today suggest that talks are ongoing for a player who may end up costing up to \u00a330m. But TFF thinks that, in today’s market, he’s worth every penny. <\/p>\n
Highly respected British media outlet, The Times<\/a>, reckons: <\/p>\n Arsenal close to \u00a320m deal for Mustafi<\/strong><\/p>\n Arsenal are moving towards a breakthrough in negotiations to sign Shkodran Mustafi<\/strong><\/p>\n
