According to the latest reports from the Spanish press (Marca), Nuri Sahin has emptied his locker at Real Madrid and will join Arsenal on loan soon. It was thought Sahin would join Arsenal earlier this week, but the deal stalled when the clubs couldn't reach an agreement on whether or not an option to buy would be included. It's thought that he'll be part of the squad to face Stoke at the weekend and could possibly start in a midfield trio with Mikel Arteta and Santi Cazorla, although I think it's more likely we'll see Abou Diaby starting.
Marca also report that Wenger has been a big admirer or Sahin for several years and failed to sign him from Dortmund.
