Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi: Why settling here was easy

Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi says he's found it easy to settle at the Emirates.

German World Cup winner Mustafi moved to Arsenal from Valencia for £35million during the summer.

"In every country you play a different style of football," Mustafi told Stadium Astro.

"Sometimes if it's really tactical, like it is in Spain, it seems like it slows down the tempo but it's not really the case.

"Obviously it's a different kind of football here but I think you need one or two games to get back into English football again.

"It's nothing that I didn't already know because I played a few years here. I know how it works and what kind of football people like.

"So yes, it wasn't that difficult."
