Shkodran Mustafi is the nutmeg king in the Arsenal squad.



This has been confirmed by Sead Kolasinac who took part in Sky Sports' 'Teammates 2.0' show as he revealed all about the Gunners squad.

Whilst many fans might have expected club record signing Nicolas Pepe to be in with a shout of this award, it's the German World Cup winner who holds the title for nutmeg king.







When asked to reveal the nutmeg king, Kolasinac gave an answer which might have surprised some Gunners supporters.

"Musti," the left-back said. "A lot!.

"He gives I think to everyone a nutmeg, everyone."

But has Mustafi managed to nutmeg Kolasinac? Well after initially saying no, the Bosnia international quickly recalled one time and joked it was only once and that he gained a measure of revenge.

"I think once, yeah," Kolasinac added. "But I give him back.

"Every training if you play rondo he gives one nutmeg."

Kolasinac is currently out of action after suffering a shoulder injury against Everton late last month.

He missed the Europa League second leg tie against Olympiacos as well as Monday night's FA Cup fifth round win over Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

Although, the injury doesn't seem to be as bad as first feared.

As revealed by the club's official website, Kolasinac is aiming for a return to full fitness by the end of the month when he could have competition on his hands for a starting berth from the fit again Kieran Tierney.

"Right shoulder. Significant strain to right shoulder joint during Everton (h) on February 23," a statement reads. "Aiming to return to full training by the end of March."
