Arsenal are wrapping up a loan deal for Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin today. The Daily Mail says Real wanted a fixed price of £14m attached to the deal if Arsenal decide to take up the option of signing the Turkey midfielder once his loan ends.
However, there seems to have been a compromise between the parties and the Gunners have finally got their man.
The Gunners were so confident of securing Sahin's services that they planned a photo shoot on Monday ahead of his official unveiling. The club called a halt to the shoot after the last minute problem.
