Arsenal fans have been lauding Shkodran Mustafi after the German's performance during the win over Olympiacos.

The centre-half was in brilliant form for the Gunners as he made the most tackles (3), the joint-second most interceptions (2) and the second-most clearances (3) for Mikel Arteta's side. He proved to be monstrous in the air as he won a staggering six aerial duels, three more than any teammate (via WhoScored).

Turkish side Galatasaray were said to have been offered the £13.5m-rated, as per Transfermarkt, 27-year-old through an intermediary (via Turkish Football). Fans were full of love for the defender as they praised him. Here is a selection of tweets:
