Arsenal target training alone as club look to finalise deal

Arsenal have been locked in transfer talks with Valencia, over the possible deal for Shkodran Mustafi for some time now.

The player has reportedly agree terms with Arsenal, however speculation broke last nigh that the two clubs could not agree on a fee for the player. Arsenal believe Mustafi is worth £20 million while Valencia want closer to £30 million.

The Mirror now reports that the German international is training alone at Valencia, in order to prevent picking up an injury and return to match fitness.

Valencia are desperate for money, having budgeted for Champions League football, but finished well outside the qualification places last season. Valenica have already sold Andre Gomes to Barcelona for £45million but still need to sell even more players. Both Paco Alcacer and goalkeeper Diego Alves could leave the club, while their other centreback, Aymen Abdennour has been linked with Everton.

Arsenal need a centreback while Valencia need to sell, hopefully Arsenal can pull this through.
