Arsenal defenders Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac both want to leave the Emirates Stadium in January, Football London report.

Mustafi and Kolasinac have both dropped down to reserve players for Arsenal this season, with the pair only playing covering roles.

With Arteta still looking to strengthen his defence the chances of them dropping even further down the pecking order look likely, and they now apparently want to depart as soon as possible.

Mustafi is said to be willing to try and push through a move in January, with Barcelona in talks to sign him.

Kolasinac, meanwhile, looks close to an exit from North London, with a return to the Bundesliga edging ever nearer.

Arsenal fans are unlikely to be too upset at the probable departure of the pair.

There are doubts over whether Kolasinac and Mustafi are good enough to play regularly for them, despite their rather lengthy stays at the club.

Mustafi has been error prone at the back over a number of years, while Kolasinac doesn’t look anywhere near the quality of Kieran Tierney, who he is competing with for a place on the left-hand side.

Football London also says that Sokratis could leave in the coming weeks, but the situation with him is slightly different.

The Greek defender is yet to make his mind up on whether the wants to leave Arsenal, and he could stay and fight for his place, if the right offer doesn’t come up.
