The Daily Star report that Inter have had their loan offer for German international defender Shkodran Mustafi rejected.

According to Sky Sport Inter are preparing a €38 million offer to sign the former Sampdoria stopper on a permanent basis but will face opposition from Arsenal who want to hang on to the player they signed only last season. Daily Star report that “Arsenal are not blessed in central defence with Per Mertesacker set to retire at the end of the season, Rob Holding still proving himself at the top level and Calum Chambers yet to make an impact.”
