Arsenal must go beyond their planned budget to close a deal for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira.
The Daily Mail says Arsenal will have to stretch their growing financial muscle to the limit to sign World Cup winner Khedira.
The fee for the 27-year-old, who has 12 months to run on his Madrid contract, would be in excess of £20million.
In addition, Khedira is understood to want £150,000 per week, a package that would make him Arsenal's highest paid player.
