Friday the 13th is unlucky for some and it appears Arsenal's misfortune is to face strong competition for the signature of Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira. Meanwhile Manchester City face coughing up a huge amount of cash if they want to land Algerian ace Yacine Brahimi

• According to German rag Bild Arsenal face competition from Borussia Dortmund for the hand of Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira. It seems the struggling Bundesliga outfit will table a bid for the German international in the summer. Khedira was linked to the Gunners last season but nothing materialised and he continues to struggle for regular game time at the Bernabeu. Italian giants AC Milan were also said to be interested at one point, as were Bayern Munich, but Bild claims Dortmund have identified Khedira as the man to resurrect their fortunes after what's been a desperately poor season by their standards.
