German international Mustafi has a £42m buy-out in his contract and Valencia are ready to accept around £30m, but Arsenal have yet to agree a fee.
Mustafi is a full Germany international
Evans was also linked with a move
It would be a huge boost for Arsenal as they have identified Mustafi as their No1 target amid a defensive injury crisis with Per Mertesacker and Gabriel both out.
They were keen on West Brom’s Jonny Evansbut Tony Pulis blocked the move and Mustafi is likely to be welcomed by frustrated Arsenal fans who have been desperate for new signings.
Arsenal’s interest in Alexandre Lacazette has cooled with Lyon demanding in excess of £40m and Wenger may start the season with Alexis Sanchez up front.
