Arsenal rumour roundup: Ozil and Sanchez make up strongest attack in years, shock £8m bid prepared and Vermaelen replacement found

Carlo Ancelotti confirms once and for all that Khedira will not be leaving Real Madrid

The Madrid midfielder has been strongly linked with a transfer this summer having entered the final year of his current contract at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Both Wenger and Chelsea have shown interest in Khedira as a result, but the German’s current head coach Ancelotti has dismissed any talk of the 27-year-old’s departure.

“He’s not leaving, he’s a Real Madrid player. He has a contract until June 30, 2015 and that’s all there is to say,” the Italian was quoted by the Daily Mail.
