It has not even been 6 months since ShkodranMustafi arrived to the Emirates Stadium as he arrived as a summer reinforcement for a fairly elevated price tag of around €35 million but the 24 year old German defender has not disappointed at all as the former Valencia player is already receiving praise from his fellow teammates, the latest one to give him compliments is Theo Walcott.
Theo Walcott feels the impact that ShkodranMustafi has made since arriving to Arsenal as the English winger recently said that it has been a very long time since the Premier League club has had a player of his characteristics and this has helped the team in winning points at a quick pace.
Ever since Mustafi was included in the starting lineup of Arsene Wenger, Arsenal has either drawn or won their league matches and Walcott believes that Mustafi has played a big part in this recent uprising of Arsenal. Arsenal has been undefeated in the Premier League in any of the 13 league matches that Mustafi has performed in with Arsenal.
‘’Of the new players, ShkodranMustafiespecially gets people up for games. If you’re not doing something right he tells you. He’s a German international and that’s the way he is.He and Laurent Koscielny have been fantastic centre-backs. They have a very good relationship and it bodes well. There is just something different about us this seasondifferent steel about us,” Theo Walcott said as he praised the recent signings of Arsenal but especially ShkodranMustafi who has made an undeniable impact with the team.
Whethe or not Arsenal are able to truly start their task of winning big titles such as the Premier League is something that remains to be seen and only time will tell but Theo Walcott is certain that the arrival of ShkodranMustafi will help in accomplishing this task.
