Arsene Wenger has stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 to the Emirates as part of a one year loan deal.
Yesterday, a number of news agencies went on to claim that the North London club had struck a loan deal for the twenty three year old midfielder and that he would be travelling to the club within the next couple of days.
However, Wenger has gone on to assure everyone that, that is not the case and no talks regarding the player have been held as yet.
The Frenchman told the club's official website: "We did not sign anybody, this report is wrong. We are not signing anybody at the moment - we are not close. In the future you never know."
Despite the manager’s claims, the team has been linked with a number of players, especially after the manager stated that the team’s transfer activities had not yet come to an end.
The team has been linked with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505 and base on speculation, the Spaniard could soon be on his way to the Emirates.
Even though the team has been linked with quite a few players, everyone was more interested in asking the manager about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 and his future at the club.
In response to that, the manager stated: "We could come back forever on Van Persie. We have our main strikers at home and Van Persie is one of them.”
"But we have Podolski and Giroud who are at home, so we have plenty of strikers. For us at the moment it is to prepare for the season - it is more than any individual player."
With Arsenal’s pre season tour set to come to an end in the near future, the team is bound to go on and wrap up most of its transfer activities in the near future.
Whether Van Persie ends up staying remains to be seen, but what can be said assuredly is the fact that the Gunners are going to add one or two new faces to their squad before the season kicks off.
