adminArsenal are hopeful of agreeing personal terms with Sami Khedira after Real Madrid accepted their £19,8million offer for the German World Cup winner.The Gunners have made signing a new defensive midfielder one of their key priorities this summer, and Khedira has emerged as the number one target.
Reports in Spain last week suggested a fee was close to be agreed, and now Marca says a £19,8million offer has been accepted – and Arsenal are working hard to agree a compromise on his £150,000-a-week wage demands.
Arsene Wenger has so far refused to match the giant salary that the 27-year-old wants, which would make him the club’s joint highest earner alongside Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.
However, it’s claimed that the two parties are hopeful an agreement can be reached which would see Khedira move to the Emirates Stadium.
The player is said to favour a switch to north London over Chelsea, who are also in the race for Khedira and are willing to match his wage demands. — Online
