The latest reports coming out of Spain regarding the future of Sami Khedira suggest the Real Madrid midfielder has made a massive u-turn and wants to stay with his current club.

It has been widely reported that Arsenal are in talks with the German after they agreed a fee with Madrid, said to be €25 million.

The sticking point between Arsenal and Khedira was the wage demands being made by the defensive midfielder, however the Gunners were allegedly confident they could resolve the issue.

Khedira not talking to Arsenal?

But, it was confirmed today by the agent of the German midfielder that his client isn’t in fact holding talks with any Premier League club – not Arsenal or Chelsea, who were also linked.

A week after he was expected to be announced as an Arsenal player, the transfer of Mathieu Debuchy is set to be confirmed today.

The Newcastle full-back has been linked with a move to the Emirates for the past few weeks and even suggested during the World Cup that he would be joining the Gunners.

The club announced the signing of Alexis Sanchez last week and it was predicted that Debuchy’s announcement would be before or at the same time as the Chileans.
