Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Germany international Shkodran Mustafi, the defender's agent has said.

Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Germany international Shkodran Mustafi, the defender's agent has said.

The 24-year-old has been linked with the Gunners for a number of weeks and speculation over a move has intensified following the ankle injury suffered by centre-back Gabriel in the International Champions Cup win over Manchester City.

The player's representative, Ali Bulut, says Mustafi has agreed a deal with Arsene Wenger's side and that the club must now settle on a transfer fee with Valencia.

"Shkodran and Arsenal have an agreement," he told Spox. "Now the teams just need to agree on a transfer fee."

Mustafi, a World Cup-winner with Germany in 2014, has established himself as a key component of Valencia's first team since joining from Sampdoria two years ago.

Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday amid a minor injury crisis, with Gabriel and Per Mertesacker both sidelined and Laurent Koscielny not expected to be fit.
