Arsenal and Real Madrid have reached agreement for the transfer of Sami Khedira to the Emirates Stadium in January.
According to caughtoffside.com the Premier League outfit will pay €14m for the capture of the German international, currently out injured, who had been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu over the summer following interest from several German and other European clubs.
However, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti chose to retain the 27-year-old former Stuttgart man after Xabi Alonso’s departure for Bayern Munich left him short of holding midfield players.
Nonetheless, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen to link Khedira up with his international teammate Mesut Ozil in the Gunners’ midfield and it appears he may get his wish come the next transfer window.
