Just where will Nuri Sahin end up?

Nuri Sahin has got so many admirers that the front lawn outside of his bedroom window is full of managers and directors of football standing beneath boomboxes trying to sway him their way.

The Turkish international, who joined Real Madrid last summer from Borussia Dortmund but has made just ten appearances for the La Liga club, has been told he can leave on loan to get first team football.

The Metro reports that Arsenal were in the driving seat to sign up the playmaker but Liverpool have now put in an offer too.

Furthermore, the paper adds that AC Milan, Lyon and Galatasaray and Besiktas have all been linked with the player too.

However, the player's future looks set to be sorted this week (according to the paper anyway) with the Premier League and Arsenal being his ideal destination.

The paper adds that the Turk is keen to come to the Premier League and though interested in the history and tradition of Liverpool, would prefer the lure of Champions League football that Arsenal can offer.

Arsene Wenger has told Madrid that Arsenal would cover Sahin's wages for the season but no fee has yet been agreed.

Like everything in football, time will tell.
