Arsenal favoured by Khedira thanks to German pals

Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira remains hopeful of clinching a move to Arsenal.

The Germany World Cup winner is the subject of intense interest from the Gunners this month, though negotiations over personal terms have stalled.

BILD says while rival interest from Chelsea has arrived, Khedira's priority is the Arsenal option.

Khedira loves the idea of joining the German contingent at Arsenal, having enjoyed his time at the World Cup alongside Lukas Podolski, Per Mertesacker and Mesut Özil.

Real Madrid are making the midfielder available, with less than a year to run on his current deal and having spent over €100 million on new signings Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez.
