Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi is ready to join Arsenal.

Sky Deutschland says he has agreed to join the Gunners.

Negotiations will continue today as the Gunners try to wrap up the deal for the Germany international, with the deal far from completion.

Arsene Wenger is desperate for defensive reinforcements following injuries to Per Mertesacker and Gabriel, and could weigh out up to £30m on Mustafi.

The 24-year-old is still training with Valencia.
