Mustafi joined Arsenal from Valencia for a £35 million transfer fee according to the BBC.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was keen to sign a defender after both Per Mertesacker and Gabriel picked up long-term injuries.
The Gunners take on Southampton on September 10 before travelling to Paris Saint-Germain for their opening Champions League game of the season three days later with Mustafi likely to be thrown straight into the Gunners starting line-up for both outings.
