Arsenal are reportedly willing to part ways with Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis this summer.

Arsenal are reportedly looking to offload centre-backs Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi when the transfer window reopens.

Sokratis, who joined the Gunners from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, will see his contract at the Emirates expire next summer.

Likewise, Mustafi, who has enjoyed a rejuvenated role in the side since Mikel Arteta took over, also has less than 18 months remaining on his current deal.

According to The Athletic, Arteta is willing to part ways with the defensive duo as the Spaniard is keen on a defensive reshuffle prior to next season.

Furthermore, the departure of Sokratis could supposedly aid Arsenal's pursuit of Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey, with Gianluca Di Marzio claiming that the Gunners are firmly interested in the midfielder.

Partey would allegedly command the number five shirt at the Emirates, which is currently occupied by Sokratis.

Mustafi and Sokratis have made a combined 27 Premier League appearances for the North London outfit this term.
