Turkish side Galatasaray have seen a loan offer for Shkodran Mustafi rejected by Arsenal, with the Premier League club instead looking for a permanent deal.
The German looks to have fallen out of favour at the Emirates Stadium after a difficult season last time out, while the arrival of Sokratis and Calum Chambers' contract extension has cast doubt on his standing in the team.
Mustafi's poor performances lead him to be omitted from the German World Cup squad at the back end of last season, capping off a disastrous season for the defender. A number of clubs have been credited with interest in signing the player since, with Arsenal believed to be open to selling if they can strike the right deal.
