Arsenal are planning a defensive overhaul in the summer, according to Independent.

The club have lost faith in their back line and goalkeeper Petr Cech, with centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos of Borussia Dortmund identified as a top priority.

The Gunners also want Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak to replace Cech, but fear the Slovenian will prove too expensive.

Di Marzio - Negotititions between Arsenal and Sokratis very advanced, he will be Arsenal first signing of the season.

It makes sense. He only has one year left on his contract, so won't be too expensive.
He is 29 and we don't have any experienced fit defenders except Mustafi, who isn't good enough.
He can also tutor Mavropanos.

...but Mustafi has never been good in my books. At best, he gets a good run in 6 consecutive games. At other times he has 3 terrible games, i meh game, and the occasional one good game.


........ 1 - nil to The Arsenal

Seems like an odd signing, he's older than Mustafi and has supposedly had a similar season in terms of gaffes and errors. Can only assume Mislintat likes him and there's a belief that with proper coaching he can be a solid starter for us.

Just do the deal. Kosc is out for half the season and Mustafi is being benched by a rookie like Holding.
