SHKODRAN MUSTAFI may be edging closer to the Arsenal exit after changing agents.
The much-maligned German centre-half has failed to win his first-team place back under new boss Mikel Arteta.

And his new agents SBE Management confirmed the 27-year-old is their client.
Despite tagging in “Arsenal”, “Gunners” and “London” it might be some shock if Mustafi is still at the Emirates once the transfer window has closed.
Arteta has already been urged to “get rid” by Gunners legend Ian Wright.
Speaking after the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, Wright said on Match Of The Day: “Mustafi was absolutely petrified of him [Tammy Abraham].
“You have got someone like Arteta coming in but there’s nothing you can do to coach a defender of his experience now, those are the type of players he’s got to be looking to get rid of.”
should the Gunners allow the much-maligned German to see out the rest of his £80,000-a-week contract, they will have shelled out almost £60million in transfer fees and wages on the defender alone.
Mustafi, a £35m signing from Valencia in 2016, has only made three Premier League appearances for the north London club this season.
However, he stands to rake in another £8.3m in wages if Arsenal fail to shift him on in the upcoming transfer windows.
Mustafi was given a rare Premier League appearance in the 2-1 defeat against Chelsea, with the centre-back at fault for Tammy Abraham’s winner.
