Here is a piece of news that will have Arsenal fans smiling and breathing a sigh of relief, Sami Khedira has decided to join the club in January with only a fee with Real Madrid yet to be agreed.
Arsene Wenger was reportedly to reinforce his midfield defensively and supposedly came close to landing the 27-year-old during the summer transfer window, but was unable to agree personal terms with the German.
But reports in Spain, according to the Metro, now suggest that Khedira has accepted a deal with the Gunners and all that remains is for both clubs to agree a transfer fee.
Khedira is in his final year of his contract at the Bernabeu and having fallen down the pecking order this season, Real Madrid will lose him on a free next summer if they don’t sell him in the winter.
Arsenal could well do with midfield reinforcements with Aaron Ramsey out of action for six weeks and Mikel Arteta also struggling with injury.
Khedira would be a welcomed addition to the Arsenal squad and offer our midfield steel and strength which we have been lacking recently.
I won’t believe it until it actually happens! I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same circus as last summer!
Much needed, but wait and see,go arsenal
Is Sami Khedira not injury prone too? And at 27, he must be approaching his peak. How pacy will he be as a CDM for Arsenal in January and beyond? I don’t known. How about that younger Calvaho or any other young CDM the boss might fished out? I think the boss should start to give Coqueline more games to play in. He could develope to become one of our top CDM.
Is a great welcome news for us…All hails for Arsenal…
But we are now used to khedira news,even in the last transfer window we were told of how he had agreed to join us
If we can grab khedira that will be OK for our defence, but i hope its not one of those talk and abandon stories, am waiting to see it happen, UP GUNNERS
