Arsenal have made a £23.8million (€30million) offer for Real Madrid star Sami Khedira and are confident it will be enough to sign him, according to reports in Spain. The El Mundo Deportivo newspaper says the Gunners submitted the offer on Wednesday night amid suggestions that he has told friends he wants out of Madrid this summer. Madrid are yet to accept or reject the bid, but manager Arsene Wenger has apparently already instructed close friend Mesut Ozil to speak to the 27-year-old about life in north London. The pair are both currently away at the World Cup in Brazil, and Arsenal hope Ozil will be able to tempt Khedira to the Emirates Stadium. Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are also known to be keen on the player, but neither club has approached Real to do business. Arsenal are desperate to land a world-class defensive midfielder during the transfer window, and have previously been linked with Bayer Leverkusen ace Lars Bender. #smzarma
