Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the signature of Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi just as the player is scheduled to fly into London on Sunday. Elsewhere, the Gunners looks set to miss out on Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez.
In a convenient twist for Arsenal, Valencia fly to England's capital to begin pre-season on Sunday, and Spanish daily Marca reported the Premier League giants are "ready to put €30 million (£25 million) on the table" (h/t Sport Witness' Dipesh Agarwal).
