There's still much to do if Arsenal are to sign Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi.
Sky Sports says Arsene Wenger is desperate to sign a new centre-back and has earmarked a move for the Germany international.
A fee and personal terms are yet to be formally agreed but Mustafi is keen to join the Gunners.
Mustafi has a £42m release clause in his contract but Valencia are willing to accept £30m.
The Arsenal boss has been pressed into action by an injury crisis in defence.
