2) Sami Khedira (Real Madrid to Arsenal)
Although this transfer saga has dragged on for much of the summer so far, there may be some progress being made in Arsenal’s quest to land Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira. Although the Gunners have previously agreed on everything but wages with the German World Cup winner, it has now emerged that his club are keen to offload him now to avoid the risk of losing him for free in the summer, which may result in him moving for a lower transfer fee and his wage demands therefore being less of a problem to the north London giants. Chelsea are interested too, but Arsenal look strong favourites to sign the 27-year-old and it may not be long before he is confirmed as a new signing at the Emirates Stadium.
