Arsenal Lining-Up €76m Triple Swoop, Terms Agreed For One Deal

By on October 8, 2014

Reports claim that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is lining up a triple swoop for Julian Draxler, Sami Khedira and Anderson Talisca this January that will set us back around €76m.

The boss has just come off the back of his biggest ever summer of spending that saw us splash out around £70m on Alexis Sanchez, Calum Chambers, Mathieu Debuchy, David Opsina and Danny Welbeck.

However, with over £100m still left in the bank it seems the spending is set to continue as the Daily Star claim that Arsene is gearing up for a spending spree this winter.

The paper suggests that we’ve already agreed personal terms worth around £100,00-a-week with Sami Khedira and are now ready to open negotiations with Real Madrid over a deal for the German midfielder.

Khedira is in the final year of his contract and Madrid are keen to sell in January rather than lose him for nothing in the summer, so we could snap him up for around €10m – which would be a bargain for a player of his quality.

The Star also claim we’ll renew our long-standing interest in Schalke attacker Julian Draxler but will have to pay his €45m buy-out clause as the Germans are in no mood to sell for anything less.

The final player on Wengers radar is supposedly keen on is Benfica midfielder Anderson Talisca, with the 20-year-old attracting a lot of attention in Portugal after scoring six goals in just seven games since his move in the summer.

The boss sent scouts to watch him in action as he scored during a 4-0 win over Arouca at the weekend, but any deal could set us back around €21m as the Brazilian has a sizeable buy-out clause written into  contract.

The total outlay is in the region of €76m for all three players but I don’t think there’s a chance in hell Wenger will spend that kind of money, regardless what the newspaper says.

Khedira would be an excellent purchase and he’d fill a void we need to fill in the squad, but I would personally question spending big money on Draxler or Talisca unless we’re planning to sell Lukas Podolski or even Santi Cazorla.

For me, a dominant midfielder and a defender is needed in January. The likes of Draxler can wait until the summer…

    Steve Unwin, I couldn’t agree more, we are packed with strikers that are still adapting to the arsenal style, buying more would be a waste of money. A CD is what the arsenal faithful have waiting for and a DM is what we desperately need…

    Forget khedive a, we need Kondogbia or Carvalho. Need size, steel and can also display technical style to fit Arsenal

    Carvalho doesn’t want to move at moment, khedira is a good enough addition for that position we still need a solid backup a cb someone like subotic would be nice and I’m sorry to say but I wouldn’t mind seeing us sign a forward as long as he is clinical! Tbh a clinical striker would have won us titles ove the last 10 years a striker like henry. Even with the sales robin had 1 season but rest of team seemed to take 2 steps back. I think we are ready for a big striker like cavani! Any signings we make now should be youth of starting 11 another clear out this summer and we should be bk to making one or two marqee signings each season

    Wenger is just good at selecting palyers n not good at signing them, when did he realise that we lack DM and a striker?

    arsenal needs DM who is very aggressive and box to box player. but wenger can’t see that. he just spot a player and leave that way. the like of Gustavo carvalio and diame but wenger cannot buy any of the players come January
