Lucas, 27, scored 17 goals in 37 games last season and Arsenal will meet a 20m euro (£17.1m) buyout clause. Germany international Mustafi, 24, is set to join for a fee in excess of £35m. It would take Arsenal's spending to almost £100m since last season.
Everton were closing in on a deal for Lucas before Arsenal declared their interest. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said he is not reluctant to spend money in the transfer market after being criticised by fans.
