10 Things Arsenal Fans Need To Know About Sami Khedira

8. He Is A Trophy Magnet

You would probably need sunglasses if you looked into Khedira's trophy cabinet, such is the number of trophies that he has in his collection: he already has the Bundesliga, Copa Del Rey, La Liga and the World Cup.

Starting out with VFB Stuttgart, he managed to take a Bundesliga title before filling in for the injured Michael Ballack in the German national side in South Africa 2010. Jose Mourinho then added the German to his ranks at Real Madrid where he added a La Liga title, two Copa del Reys, a Spanish Super Cup and a Champions League Winners medal.

Add to that the World Cup winners medal from Brazil and you can see that Khedira seems to be a magnet for trophies, which is good news for an Arsenal side starved of trophies for the past decade aside from last season's FA Cup. Crucially, he knows how to win, and that is an invaluable asset.
