Robert Pires has claimed that Arsenal will win the Premier League title if they sign Sami Khedira from Real Madrid in January.
The former French winger is preparing himself for a return to football in India’s new lucrative Super League set-up and he has spoken about his former club, informing former boss Arsene Wenger that singing Sami Khedira is a must.
“He [Wenger] needs a big player in the middle, like Vieira, strong, tall, because this position is very important for the balance between attack and defence,” he told Daily Telegraph.
“The quality is there but you need more, maybe [someone] like Yaya Toure in middle. He reminds me of Patrick Vieira, maybe they have an opportunity with Khedira.
“It is likely in the January window. He played very well with Germany. My advice is if he can buy Khedira he can be the Vieira, more aggression in the middle.
“He has a lot of experience. When you play in the middle you need experience, especially when your midfield is young like Arsenal’s.”
