Following injuries to Per Mertesacker and Gabriel, Arsenal have been linked with a move for Valencia’s Shkodran Mustafi and are still hopefully of getting a deal over the line.
However, as all Arsenal fans know, transfer deals don’t always get over the line and as such, it looks like the club have identified two players in case the move for the German international collapses.
According to Sky Sports, Arsenal have both Omer Toprak of Bayer Leverkusen and Simon Kjaer of Fenerbahce on their ‘Plan B’ list.
Both players are 27-years-old and both are full internationals, having represented Turkey and Denmark, respectively
Arsene Wenger was forced to select Rob Holding and Calum Chambers at the heart of his defence against Liverpool, and while the pair did not do too much wrong, the fact is that such a duo is probably not strong enough for a team with title ambitions, so it’s clear that Arsenal need to get another defender into the club as soon as possible.
