It is no longer news that EPL outfit Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen on the signature of a defensive midfielder in order to stabilize the team for the season’s challenge

Efforts to land their main target, Houssem Aouar has failed as the Gunners were unable to meet the Friday ultimatum given to them by the French Ligue 1 outfit Lyon.

Now the Red Devils will begin a new search and it seems like they cannot pay the release clause of Ghanaian international midfielder Thomas Partey as well.

Sami Khedira could be the next option for Arsenal with reports claiming that he is available for a move to the Emirates Stadium this season. He is available at a cheaper fee which makes him another deal to consider.

The Gunners are not alone in the chase of the 33-year-old midfielder as French Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain are also considering his service. The quality of the Germany international is known and his experience could be a great deal for any of his suitors.

It is understood that he is ready to leave Juventus on a free transfer which means the North London outfit will only be discussing his weekly wage should manager Mikel Arteta finds him worthy of his team.
