Report: Real Madrid, Arsenal Agree Sami Khedira Deal

Arsenal and Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a deal that will see Sami Khedira move to London in January.

CaughtOffside reports;

Khedira has turned down the offer of a new contract and with his current deal set to expire next summer the Spanish giants wish to sell the former Stuttgart man when the transfer window re-opens to prevent losing the midfield battler on a free transfer.

Arsenal have put in an offer that meets Real Madrid’s €15m (£11m) price-tag and this would leave Arsene Wenger in the clear to negotiate with Khedira though the World Cup winner must first prove himself to have recovered from arthroscopic surgery on his knee before any deal can be struck.

Wenger will be handed £30m to invest in his squad in January and the need to bring in a steely midfield presence is clear and the Gunners boss is known to have a long running interest in Khedira.
