While Arsenal are continuing to haggle with Real Madrid over the terms of Nuri Sahin’s one year loan deal, there are conflicting reports about the possibility that either Tottenham or Liverpool could also be in with a chance of landing the Turkish international.
Both the Guardian and the Mail report that Sahin himself has turned down a move to White Hart Lane as a makeweight in Real Madrid’s negotiations over Luka Modric and that the Emirates is his preferred destination, but the Spanish paper Marca reports that Liverpool are now in the driving seat because of Brendan Rodger’s friendly relations with Jose Mourinho. There is also the fact that Sahin may be more likely to get regular playing time at Anfield than with Arsenal.
There are reports that say that Wenger wants to try and get the price for the loan period reduced (no surprise there!) but also wants the option to buy him next summer if Sahin fits into the team well, while Mourinho is adamant that he still has a future at Madrid.
But the Guardian is convinced that even if Wenger get an agreement with Madrid, it is simply so that he has a backup option if Alexander Song pushes him for a move to Barcelona or elsewhere, but I would have thought that Sahin is simply extra cover in midfield while Wenger waits to see if Jack Wilshere fully recovers from his ongoing problems.
They also reckon that Song has annoyed Wenger by asking him to let the midfielder at least consider offers from other clubs, which has led Wenger to explore other possibilities…
Only God (or Wenger!) knows whether any of these reports are true, but on the premise that there is no smoke without fire I would say that Arsenal are certainly discussing the possibility of Sahin coming to the Emirates!
