Shkodran Mustafi had a season to forget at Arsenal, particularly in the closing stages of the campaign.

The Germany international was caught out a handful of times in the last few remaining matches under Arsene Wenger's tenure as manager.

Unsurprisingly, his performances caused many fans to rant and rave on social media, with some calling for the club to sell the centre-back.

The 26-year-old - valued at £25.2m by Transfermarkt - will have an opportunity to prove that he deserves a place in the team following the arrival of Unai Emery as manager.

The Spaniard adopted various formations during his spells in charge of Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain, but he has consistently used a back four.

While at Parc des Princes, he deployed similar tactics to that of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp by instructing his defenders to press high.

Emery will assess his defensive options before making a decision on Mustafi, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014.

Judging on past form and the defender's ability, will he end up being an important member of Emery's team?
