Arsene Wenger is likely to offer Khedira around £110,000 per-week,
making him amongst the highest earners at the club. Khedira would join
fellow World Cup winners Lukas Podolski, Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil
at the Emirates, which is becoming a growing attraction for German
talent.
Sami Khedira will add top-level
experience to the midfield and bring a whole new level of power that the
team has been lacking since Vieira. Watching him destroy the Brazilian
midfield in that 7-1 mauling proved just how valuable he would be in big
games for the Gunners.
Khedira has just one year remaining on
his current contract, and reports in Spain suggested that this week he
turned down an extension offer from the Champions League holders. It is
thought that Arsenal and Madrid have already reached an agreement of
£20million (€25million), but personal terms are yet to be finalised.
If signed, Khedira is unlikely to be available until August 11, when
all the other Germans return from their well deserved break. This means
all the Germans would miss the Community Shield and the first Premier
League game (due to fitness issues). Arsenal will of course have a
European qualifier to juggle amongst their Premier League fixtures in
August.
