Bayern Munich join race for Arsenal target

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are reportedly set to join the pursuit for Germany's World Cup winner, according to a report.

Real Madrid midfield star Sami Khedira has been long linked with a switch away from the Bernabeu, following the arrivals of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos at the club this summer.

According to The Metro, Bayern boss Pep Guardiola is keen on signing a top-class midfielder during the current transfer window, as he aims to cover up the loss of Javi Martinez due to a long-term injury.

Reports earlier revealed that Los Blancos could allow the German international leave the club for as little as £8m, and this is thought to have attracted interest from the Bavarian giants.

Arsenal have also shown interest in signing the talented midfielder over the past month.
