Confirmed! Arsenal hold talks to sign box-to-box midfielder

It has been reported that North London side Arsenal have already held talks with their long-term target and Hoffenheim midfielder Nadiem Amiri ahead of the winter transfer window which would be open in January.

The reports added that a bid is already being prepared after talks have been successful with the player as the Gunners will now have to meet with the club.

Nadiem Amiri has been identified as a sound replacement for outgoing midfielder Aaron Ramsey who is destined to be on his way out of the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

The German midfielder has been impressive so far this season for his German Bundesliga side and that has given him the attention he has had from big European clubs.

Nadiem Amiri scored 3 goals and made 3 assists in 22 games played last season and that seems to be extending into this season with his performance yet to see any drop.

The North London side will do everything possible to have the signature of the star player as they seek to have more additions to be able to compete for titles this season.

Manager Unai Emery has made it clear that the first intention is to have the team return to the Champions League and then win a title this season.
