Many Arsenal fans were expecting/hoping that the club would move Shkodran Mustafi on this summer and they might still. He’s under contract until 2021 so they will either sell him or give him a new deal.

We can but hope it is the former.

Until the club decide what to do, the player has made it clear he’s going nowhere.

In an interview with Kicker, the German said, “I do not know where these messages come from. It’s funny, I’ve been here for almost three years, and after half a year, it was speculated that I would change soon.

“I am a player of Arsenal, I have a contract until 2021, and then there is no news. If they exist, I will announce them and not sneak away.”

He also spoke about the situation with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, adding, “It is a great pity for him not to be there, especially as he has often played on the way to the final. Of course, our team has that in mind: we also want to win for Micki.”
