Deals that could well be done and dusted by September 1st.

Nuri Sahin to Arsenal

Arsene Wenger will surely step up the chase for the Real Madrid man now that his midfield options are even lighter following the sale of Alex Song to Real Madrid. By all accounts the Turkish international is nearing a move to the North London club with Jose Mourinho having already stated that he was open to allowing the former Borussia Dortmund man to leave on a loan deal that could well lead to a permanent switch.

Very much a Wenger-esque player, comfortable on the ball and now very eager to re-ignite a career that has stalled at the Bernabeu.
