阿森纳官方宣布,球队签下了瓦伦西亚中后卫穆斯塔菲,并未透露具体签约年限。据天空体育透露转会费为3500万英镑。 出身于汉堡青训营的穆斯塔菲职业生涯经历十分丰富,他在2012年前往英格兰踢球,以自由身从汉堡加盟埃弗顿。3年之后,穆斯塔菲又来到了意大利,转投桑普多利亚。2014年夏天,穆斯塔菲转战西甲,以800万欧元的身价转会至瓦伦西亚。
加盟蝙蝠军团之后,这位德国国脚就立刻坐稳了球队主力位置,在为瓦伦西亚效力了2个赛季中,身高1.84米的穆斯塔菲共出场80次,打进6球并且贡献了3次助攻。
国家队层面,24岁的穆斯塔菲已经代表德国国家队出场了12次,并且参加了2014年巴西世界杯和今夏的法国欧洲杯两项重要赛事。另外,出生于德国巴特黑斯费尔德的穆斯塔菲还拥有阿尔巴尼亚国籍。
穆斯塔菲在场上可以胜任中后卫和右边后卫的位置,抢断、拦截和争顶能力出色,对于后防线急需补强的阿森纳来说绝对是一笔出色的引援。此前,枪手已经签下了扎卡、浅野拓磨、霍尔丁和卢卡斯-佩雷斯,穆斯塔菲成为球队第5位新援。
温格表示:“穆斯塔菲正处于当打之年,而且很有经验,有球能力也很出色。我们不但得到了即战力,这还是一笔针对未来的投资。”
