Sahin is nearly an Arsenal player now! By KJ
It’s almost finally done now… Sahin is apparently on his way to London Colney for a medical. The ever reliable AFCAMDEN who brought you the Santi Cazorla deal confirmed it earlier on in the morning:
Just been informed that a deal has now been finalised & Nuri Sahin is now expected to report to the Arsenal training ground after 4pm.#AFC
If this isn’t enough, @DarrenArsenal1 (another extremely reliable tweeter) confirmed Sahin was doing his photoshoot:
Sahin has had his photoshoot at Colney this afternoon. Expect confirmation on website with story tomorrow #sahin #arsenal
This is great news and with this looking to be only one of the flurry of signings Wenger might commit to before the end of this window, things are starting to look good again.
Sahin is a class player who was integral to Dortmund’s title challenge during the 2010/2011 season. He likes to play a similar role to Alonso; deep lying playmaker essentially. However, he does have a defensive edge and knows how to tackle. His positioning is excellent and his passing range is sublime. David Ornstein of the BBC confirmed that Arsenal were successful in their attempts to get a buyback clause installed (fee undisclosed).
I’m not sure that he’ll be our cover for Song. Doesn’t seem defensive enough personally. However, if he is, I fully trust Wenger’s judgement on this. We don’t play any conventional defensive midfielders as I’ve highlighted in previous articles. But neither do some of the top clubs in Europe.
We can expect Sahin to be announced tomorrow and don’t be surprised if we make another signing before the Stoke game. There has been a lot of talk that we are still very active in the market and I can’t wait to see whom Wenger unveils!
