Arsenal boss, Unai Emery has been handed a transfer budget in the region of £45million as he looks to strengthen his squad this summer.
The club lost to Chelsea in the Europa League and failed to qualify for top four as their UEFA Champions League hopes were dashed.
However, the Spaniard could raise some additional funds by offloading players who he believes would benefit from a move away from North London.
One man available for transfer is experienced centre-half, Shkodran Mustafi , however the club reportedly have yet to receive any enquiries about the 27-year-old German.
Mustafi featured 40 times for the Gunners last season, netting three goals
However, supporters picked up on Mustafi removing his Arsenal profile picture and "Player for Arsenal" from the bio of his Instagram .
This comes as the German and his teammates reported back to the club's training ground for pre-season.
This latest twist has added fuel to the fire surrounding his future at the club. In May, he said there were no plans for him to leave the Emirates citing his contract which runs until 2021.
He told the German publication, Kicker : "It is odd that there are always transfer speculations. I am an Arsenal player and have a contract until 2021."
However, it is believed that Emery is keen to sell the ex-Valencia defender, having run out of patience with him towards the end of last season.
