Arsenal have signed German international
defensive midfielder Sami Khedira after
reaching an €18 million transfer
agreement with Real Madrid early Sunday
morning.
It is well known Khedira would be entering
into the final six months of his contract
this January, allowing him to negotiate
with other clubs and leave on a "Bosman"
deal this summer.
The 27-year-old sounded as if he was
willing to remain with Los Blancos earlier
last week, but in the end, signalled his
intentions of signing for Arsenal, a deal
he’d been negotiating for the past several
months with his agent Jorg Santos
Inocentes.
Arsenal, despite having agreed to a deal
with Khedira, were unwilling to wait and
allow teams such as Chelsea and
Manchester United to present Real Madrid
with a big-money offer and ensured they
acquired the services of Khedira this
January.
Khedira will arrive in London later this
week, where he will undergo his standard
medical and be formally presented when
the January transfer window officially
opens on Thursday.
Do you think Sami Khedira will be a good
fit for Arsenal?
