2) Sami Khedira (Real Madrid)
With Real Madrid desperate to sell contract rebel Sami Khedira this summer, Arsenal have also stepped up their interest in the experienced German World Cup winner. Arsene Wenger has been desperate to sign a new defensive midfielder all summer, with an injury to Mikel Arteta now convincing him to go all out for this superb player, despite his high wage demands. A lowered transfer fee to £12m from Real has also boosted the north London giants in their pursuit of the 27-year-old, and he will be one of the most exciting arrivals to the Premier League this summer as he prepares to undergo a medical at the club ahead of a possible move next week.
