Arsene Wenger has agreed a deal to sign Real Madrid starlet Nuri Sahin.

Arsenal boss Wenger has held talks with Sahin and persuaded the Turkish midfielder to join on a one-year loan deal.

Sahin, 23, wants to come to Arsenal for Champions League - even though Liverpool offered better financial terms to Real Madrid.

Liverpool are keen and offered to pay a higher proportion of his wages to Real Madrid but Sahin prefers Arsenal.

Sahin comes to Arsenal after a frustrating spell at Real Madrid with Wenger paying a £2m loan fee. There is no permanent deal agreed.

Sahin took German footbball by storm but has struggled to established himself at Real Madrid but Wenger is a long term admirer.

He is a different player to Alex Song - more technical and creative than defensive - but will help soften the bblow of his £15m sale to Barcelona.
