Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi is the subject of an enquiry from Ligue 1 outfit Monaco, according to French publication L’Equipe.

The German centre-back could be moved on this summer if the Gunners can find a potential suitor.

Arsenal have a valuation of around £27 million for their player.

The Gunners signed Mustafi from Valencia in 2016 for £35 million. His time in North London hasn’t been great and he has failed to adhere himself to the club’s supporters.

During Sunday’s pre-season defeat to Lyon, Mustafi was booed by a section of Gunners supporters.

The defender earns £90,000-a-week at the Emirates Stadium, according to Spotrac, and those funds would bolster Unai Emery’s kitty.

Mustafi is a World Cup winner and during his three years in North London, he has played 115 games for the Gunners.

Monaco survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season. They clearly feel Mustafi can help them towards a better season next time around.

It is fair to say that Arsenal fans cannot wait to get shut of Mustafi.

Following these latest reports, several supporters have taken to Twitter to speak of their delight.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Gunners faithful in response to news that Mustafi has admirers and could depart:
