"No Talks Yet With Chelsea And Arsenal" - Khedira Agent

Sami Khedira’s agent, Jorg Neubauer, has revealed there has been no talks with Chelsea or Arsenal this summer over the availability of his client, according to Sky Sports.

Arsenal are the bookies’ favourite to sign Khedira, and with three German team-mates persuading him to make the move, his move to the Emirates did appear inevitable.

However, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was responsible for bringing the 27-year-old to Real Madrid, a factor which could give the west London outfit a leg up on their rivals. He’s stated his interest in the German midfielder, but Neubauer was keen to reiterate there has been no movement on a deal to sign for either club.

“We are not in talks with Arsenal,” he said. “I don’t think a fee can have been agreed, otherwise I would have been told. When a club have an interest I am sure they will call me and we will speak about things. The same goes for Chelsea.”

“We are talking to Real Madrid about his contract, but nothing is close to being decided. Sami has just returned from the World Cup and has gone on holiday.”

Last season, Khedira made just 13 league appearances in an injury-hit season with Real Madrid and he only has one-year left on his deal with the Spanish giants. Despite his agent's comments, Khedira is still being tipped for a Premier League this summer.
