What the heck is that?

Shkodran Mustafi shows off his David Brent-style dance moves alongside future Arsenal team-mate Per Mertesacker

Gunners central defence partnership busted out their cringey moves for all to see

SHKODRAN MUSTAFI and Per Mertesacker show off their David Brent-style dance moves.

Forget two-footed lunges, snarling aggression and shirt-tugging, it's cringey shape-throwing Premier League strikers need to be worried about.

Arsenal yesterday agreed a £35million deal with Valencia to bring the centre-back to the Emirates.

So this is our first real look at how the heart of the Gunners back line will shape up.

And it's good news if you like seeing people boogie like your dad - possibly bad if you like seeing your side keep clean sheets.

Twitter reaction to the scenes was mixed, to say the least.

One user wrote: "What the heck is that I just watched?"

While others were more optimistic.

An Arsenal fan said: "That's their reaction after they pocket every Premier League striker."

Another said: "Lovely to see Per teaching him the Arsenal offside trap nice and early."

A fellow user perhaps summed it up best when they posted: "We won't be the Invincibles. We'll be the Incredibles."
