5 Arsenal players with a point to prove

#4. Shkodran Mustafi

Mustafi needs to prove his worth on a constant basis.

The German World cup winner is an enigma. He is capable of being sublime and ridiculous within a span of weeks. At his best, he is a ball playing boulder and tackler and at his worst, he gives away the ball very often and makes fouls in very dangerous areas.

After leaking in plenty of goals in the opening games, the Gunners’ defence has improved vastly owing to the presence of Lucas Torreira in the midfield. Mustafi has been playing well in the recent fixtures and his vocal and commanding presence is an added benefit to the North London outfit.

The German has to perform at the same level and if there any slip-ups, he might have to deputize for the returning skipper Laurent Koscielny or Rob Holding, who has performed admirably when his services were called upon.
