Shkodran Mustafi’s Arsenal career has been harassed with horrific misstep and flustering lapses, and he has become the source of various memes on social media for his apparent ineptitude in protecting. But, the summer months has felt curiously different. It no longer feels like a flowing joke. It feels like the bitter end of a long drawn-out story.

The German World Cup winner has been the subject of ponderous denunciation from fans and scholars alike, and the majority of members of it has been quite understandable. The centre-back’s highlight reel of bloopers are worthy of forming its practice onto’ You’ve Been Framed ‘, and it’s a rather fine campaign on the part of the 27 -year-old that he continues to think of new ways of shooting himself in the foot.

But, his mistake against Crystal Palace back in April, when he tolerated Wilfried Zaha to haunt through to fire home, felt like an strangely cathartic minute. No longer was the defender’s error simply one for people to propel their hands in the air and jokingly declare’ oh there becomes Shkodran again ‘. It was almost like things had reached the point of no return. He had expensed the sorority an opportunity at Champions League football.

And if Mustafi had harboured said he hopes that a time away from the prominence would help see Gunners fans forget all about it and start with a fresh slate, then he was unhappily mistaken.

The German was roundly booed by Arsenal’s contingent of American fans on the pre-season tour of the USA, whilst he received a similarly cold welcome when the north London side entertained Lyon at the Emirates on Sunday. The announcer’s call of Mustafi’s preamble in the second-half was met with widespread groans and boos, and whether you like him or not, it was certainly sad to see.

Indeed, reports earlier this summer had suggested that Unai Emery had decided enough was enough with his bungling follower, but the 27 -year-old still remains on the Gunners’ bibles with less than a month to go in the transport window, and due to the fact that no new guard has come in for this campaign, the German may well have imagination his chances of having one last shot.

But after reading and hearing the north London side’s fan basi turn so unequivocally against one of their own this pre-season, we are surely entering the final chapter of Mustafi’s Arsenal career once and for all, the one entitled’ the end’.
