Arteta: Mustafi can still have a future at Arsenal
Mikel Arteta has given Shkodran Mustafi a great opportunity to save his career at Arsenal, saying that the Albanian quarterback could have a future at the club if he stops making mistakes in his game.
The former Germany national teammate made a stupid mistake by turning a ball back, which resulted in a 2: 2 Arsenal goal with Chelsea last Tuesday and moreover made his team-mate David Luiz be excluded red card, consequently.
This was just the latest mistake in a string of tragic mistakes Mustafi has made during his Emirates career.
But asked if Mustafi could have a long-term future at Arsenal, Arteta confirmed that yes.
“When he is my player and when he trains with me the way he does every day, of course he has,” Arteta said.
“Plans with him in the summer may have been different. I came here, he is here and he always has the right approach and wants to offer help. Yes, he made a mistake, but it’s okay. I like the reaction more and I care more about the reaction, ”he said.
Arteta believes that although he is 27 years old, Mustafi can correct his frequent mistakes.
