Some Arsenal fans on Twitter are more than happy for their former figure Sven Mislintat to re-sign Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
According to The Independent, Mislintat, who left his role as Arsenal’s head of recruitment 18 months ago, wants to bring the Greece international to Stuttgart.
Sokratis joined the Gunners in the first summer that Arsene Wenger left the club.
But fast forward two years and the former Borussia Dortmund stalwart – signed by Mislintat then, too – hasn’t really proven to be worth the £18 million that was spent on him.
He does not appear to have much future under Mikel Arteta and might be pushed further down the pecking order next season when William Saliba arrives.
Here’s how Arsenal fans reacted to Mislintat possibly re-signing the big man:
Arteta intimadted that money could be tight at Arsenal this summer, meaning that he might need player sales before he can bring anybody in.
And if the North Londoners can pick up any eight-figure amount for Sokratis, even at a loss, then that wouldn’t be bad in this climate.
