Arsenal have suffered a big blow after coming to know that long term target Sami Khedira of Real Madrid have preferred a move to Schalke over Gunners.
Sami Khedira has been strongly linked with the Gunners since the last summer. But the recent reports have given Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger a blow as the midfielder has agreed to sign for the German side Schalke on a free transfer in the summer window.
Khedira will be out of contract at the end of the season and he has not agreed a new deal with the Spanish giants due to the lack of playing time.
Khedira has started only three La Liga games so far this season.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing a defensive midfielder for the summer move and with Khedira’s latest decision, the Frenchman will now look to other midfielders. Chelsea and Bayern Munich were also keeping tabs on the German star.
The 27-year-old will now return to home after spending five years in Spain.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have also been keeping tabs on William Carvalho of Sporting Lisbon and Morgan Schneiderlin of Southampton.
Schneiderlin’s deal has been agreed, according to several reports. The French midfielder is likely to sign for the North London side in the summer window.
