It’s fair to say that Shkodran Mustafi hasn’t enjoyed the best of 12 months with the Gunners.
The German was, at one stage, a well-established member of Unai Emery’s backline, however, after several shaky appearances, has fallen out of favour with the Spaniard.
The 27-year-old failed to secure a move away from the Emirates in the final days of the window and will now be in and around the Arsenal squad for the foreseeable future.
And unfortunately for the defender, the club’s cameras caught new signing Kieran Tierney make him look rather silly.
As shown on Arsenal’s YouTube page, cited by @afcstuff, the Scot coolly slotted the ball between the German’s legs in a keep-ball drill.

Read Arsenal verdict
It seems as if nothing is going right for Mustafi in North London this year.
His poor form and failure to get a summer move, along with this piece of training ground footage that has gone viral amongst Arsenal supporters have just added to the German’s woes.
It’ll be interesting to see if Emery is willing to give the defender another chance, but with Sokratis, David Luiz, Callum Chambers and Rob Holding all seemingly above him in the pecking order, he could well have played his final game for the Gunners.
