'£10m and he is yours!' - Arsenal fans have a theory over Sheffield United's transfer tease

Arsenal fans seem to believe they've found a buyer for Shkodran Mustafi.

Premier League newboys Sheffield United sparked the frenzy of messages when they published a tweet which some Gunners supporters think is in reference to the German defender.

The defender has struggled to find his best form in the Premier League since arriving for £35m from Valencia and is unpopular with  Arsenal  fans, who are desperate to offload him as soon as possible.

Mustafi  is available for a transfer but as of yet no clubs have expressed an interest.

Furthermore, comments made by Mustafi earlier in the summer would have left supporters disappointed.

"It is odd that there are always transfer speculations,"  Mustafi  told  German publication Kicker . "I am an Arsenal player and have a contract until 2021."

But the German defender might have hinted at some activity.

As spotted by supporters on Twitter, Mustafi  had removed his Arsenal profile picture and removed “Player for Arsenal” from his Instagram bio.

This came just a couple of days after he and many of the Gunners first-team squad reported back to London Colney for pre-season training.

However, with the start of the Premier League season fast approaching Mustafi is still at the club and looks set to stay another year.

Or will he?

Some Arsenal fans think the Blades' tweet which uses a similar emoji as to when Mustafi posts on the social media platform is a massive clue towards some activity.
