Liverpool And Arsenal Fans React After Hearing Shkodran Mustafi Could Move To Anfield This Window

Arsenal's Shkodran Mustafi potentially moving to Liverpool during this transfer window has stunned fans on social media as the Premier League champions look to solve their defensive crisis.

Mustafi has been linked with a shock transfer to Liverpool with Jurgen Klopp trying to bring in a defender as cover for the rest of the season.

Joel Matip's injury against Tottenham now means Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are on the treatment table.

Jordan Henderson has become a makeshift defender with the Liverpool boss relying on youngsters Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams.

Naturally, the Reds are considering their options with just a few days remaining of the market and it appears Mustafi is a genuine target for the club.

They're keeping tabs on his contract situation ahead of a potential free transfer.

The World Cup winner could terminate his contract early - just like Mesut Ozil - this month having not started a Premier League game this season.

The idea of Mustafi plying his trade at the home of the English champions sent Twitter wild.

Without their first-choice defenders, Liverpool beat Tottenham 3-1 to close the gap on league leaders Manchester City to four points.

Klopp's team resume their league campaign away at West Ham on Sunday.
