Shkodran Mustafi has agreed to join Inter, according to Sky in Italy

Shkodran Mustafi has agreed to leave Arsenal for Inter, according to Sky in Italy.

Inter want to take Mustafi on loan with a view to a permanent move, just 12 months after Arsenal paid £35m to sign him from Valencia.

And while the clubs have not agreed a deal, Sky in Italy say the Germany centre-half is prepared to return to Serie A, where he previously had a two-year spell with Sampdoria.

Arsene Wenger was non-committal when asked about Mustafi's future at his Thursday press conference, saying: "It's very difficult for me to talk about individual cases."

The Gunners boss has already sanctioned the sale of one centre-half this month, allowing Gabriel to join Valencia.

Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker, Rob Holding and Calum Chambers are Arsenal's other recognised central defenders, although Wenger used left-backs Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac there in the defeat at Stoke.
