Valencia considering loan move for Mangala

Valencia have targeted the Frenchman as a possible replacement for Mustafi, who is attracting interest from Arsenal.

However, Arsenal are yet to make a cocrete offer for the defender, and Valencia will only move for Mangala if Arsenal bid for Mustafi.

Mangala has struggled at City since arriving two season ago and has will fall even further down the pecking order after the signing of John Stones.

He looks set to face another season watching on from the substitutes bench and would possibly be open to a temporary move away from the club.
