Arsenal completed the signing of Mustafi from Valencia for £35m in the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has made an encouraging start at the Emirates Stadium, striking up a decent partnership with Laurent Koscielny.

Former Manchester United defender Neville managed Mustafi during his nightmare spell in charge of Valencia last season.

And he believes playing alongside Koscielny will help Mustafi fulfil his talent.

Neville told the Metro: "Mustafi has got an incredible amount of natural ability and talent, good physical capability and I think with age and maturity he will grow into being a fantastic defender.

"He’s got all the attributes you would want."

He added: "I think that ultimately it will help him playing along Koscielny who has got experience there playing at Arsenal. I think he’s got all the makings of it.

"Defenders will mature with age and I think he will get better and better."
