Shkodran Mustafi has agreed to join Arsenal, according to Sky in Germany 
Valencia's Shkodran Mustafi has agreed to join Arsenal but the clubs have yet to finalise a fee, according to Sky sources.
Arsene Wenger is in the market for a centre-half after Per Mertesacker suffered a long-term knee injury and Gabriel was ruled out for up to eight weeks.
Sky in Germany are reporting that Mustafi has agreed to move to the Gunners, although sources say the player has signed nothing and there is no agreement yet between the clubs.

Would Mustafi suit Arsenal?

Zlatan holds back the clock but time's up for Rooney

  The Swedish striker shows no sign of letting up despite his age but the writing is on the wall for his Old Trafford captain who is not missed in the starting XI or squad COMMENT BY LINEARSPORTS The latest signal that Wayne Rooney serves no purpose for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United came not in a game when he played badly or appeared out of his depth but one in which he was completely absent. The United squad stepped off the coach at Old Trafford for their Boxing Day fixture against Sunderland without Rooney, providing the decisive clue that he wouldn’t be involved. He had pulled up with an injury during Christmas Day training and Mourinho is already planning for Saturday's match at home to Middlesbrough without him.

Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand. With Zeljko Buvac, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders helping Klopp bank the smallest details from every session - supported by the performance analysis team - the decision to utilise Milner as a left-back for the season was logical rather than some elaborate experiment. “It was clear that if Millie was open fo...
