Kim KallstromSo a move for Schalke’s Julian Draxler looks all but dead in the water.

But Arsene Wenger is keen to bring in a new face and bolster his midfield options now that Mathieu Flamini is suspended for four games and Aaron Ramsey is out for a further six weeks or so following a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury.

Kim Kallstrom is the name being touted to join Arsenal before the 11pm deadline, and Sky Sports News claims the 31-year-old Swede is close to joining the Gunners.

It’s believed Wenger wants to sign the Spartak Moscow midfielder on loan until the end of the season and fix the problem only for the short-term.

Should Arsenal manage to land Kallstrom before the window shuts then they will be signing a player who has immense experience, having played for Lyon for six years and has been capped 108 times for Sweden, and is extremely versatile as well.

The deal is expected to be completed and should it materialize then Arsenal will more than likely pay a small loan fee as well as the player’s wages in full.
