Arsenal transfer target Sami Khedira has dropped his wage demands to just £80,000 per week, according to CDS in Italy.
The report states that Chelsea, Milan and Arsenal are circling, as all are keen to sign the German midfield enforcer. The Gunners have a long term interest in Khedira and he fits the mould of what Arsene Wenger is looking for.
According to reports Arsenal are now making signing Khedira a priority. He really would be a game changing signing.
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’s game is built around his powerful frame and his huge presence alone would create a new dimension in Arsenal’s midfield. He’s also very energetic. He can press and pass well, but again, is not as tidy as the normal Arsenal midfielder. He will create room for others, scare opponents and be strong and accurate in the tackle. Wenger had opted to covert Arteta to a defensive midfielder and sign Flamini rather than bring in someone of Khedira’s ilk, but now he has identified the need for such a player, after watching our midfield get bullied in the big games this season.
