Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira is a step away from signing with Arsenal.

The Germany international, 32, has been in contract talks with the Gunners this week.

TMW says Juve are willing to grant Khedira a free transfer, though cutting him loose will also need to include a payoff.

And Juve management are now prepared to hand the veteran a golden handshake to push him into Arsenal's arms.

For their part, Arsenal are ready to deal in Khedira once he's available.
