The Real Madrid midfielder has been linked with a move to The Gunners this summer after recent stories in the Spanish media suggested that Los Blancos had agreed a £19.8m fee with the north London club.
Despite Khedira’s agent insisting that his client was not in talks with Arsenal, CaughtOffside has now claimed that the Emirates Stadium outfit have agreed personal terms with the Germany international and will confirm the midfielder’s capture on Monday.
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, was asked about Khedira following the club’s 2-0 win over Boreham Wood in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, but, refused to reveal which players he was targeting in the coming months.
‘I can’t give you any names,’ Wenger told reporters.
‘We are still active. Sometimes the players you want are available very late. You do the deals when they are possible.’
Khedira’s future at Real Madrid has been the subject of much talk – with the World Cup winner out of contract at the Spanish giants next summer – which has resulted in the player being linked to Arsenal and Chelsea in recent weeks.
Despite the stories, though, Khedira’s agent confirmed that his client was negotiating a new contract at the Santiago Bernabeu outfit – but admitted that nothing would be decided until the 27-year-old returned from holiday.
