As the Gunners prepare to greet Galatasaray tonight in their Champions League encounter at the Emirates, Metro claims Arsenal "have started work" on a deal to finally get their mitts on World Cup winner Sami Khedira.

It's reported in Spain that Arsenal have been badgering the Real Madrid midfielder for months and had hoped to sign him in the summer. But although that plan collapsed like an injured Arsenal midfielder, Metro says that the north London club have "resumed their interest" in the German international and are quietly confident of securing his signature when the January transfer window opens.
