Real Madrid 'slash Sami Khedira asking price to £8m'

Arsenal could be ready to renew their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira after the European Champions reportedly slashed their asking price.

The midfielder has been linked with a switch to North London all summer, and according to The Mirror the Spanish giants will now accept a fee of £8m to get the player off their books.

The Germany international will be able to leave Real for free when his contract expires in a year's time if a deal for his services is not struck before then.

Arsenal get their Premier League campaign underway today as they host Crystal Palace.
