"There`s no smoke without fire" goes the old adage, and in the case of Nuri Sahin to Arsenal, there`s a sky full of smoke.
Rumour
has had it for much of the summer that Arsene Wenger is looking to
bring in the Turkish midfielder on loan (possibly with an option to buy)
from Real Madrid, and given the confirmation of Alex Song`s departure
to Barcelona, the rumours have gathered much more pace this morning.
Despite
interest from Liverpool (Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers served under
Mourinho at Chelsea, seemingly giving him the, edge) it appears as
though Sahin will opt for Arsene Wenger`s Arsenal.
John
Cross of the Daily Mirror is one of the more competent journalists out
there and has been in action on Twitter over the past day or so claiming
the deal should be announced soon.
As Mr Cross points
out, Sahin is a completely different player to Song so his signing might
not mean the end to our transfer dealings or the French manager could
be looking at an alternate set-up.
Whatever happens,
Sahin is a player who I admire greatly and would love to see him in the
famous red and white (and blue) of my beloved
