10 Things Arsenal Fans Need To Know About Sami Khedira

5. He Would Be The NQBFG

Standing at 6"2, Khedira is a fairly tall man, but unfortunately for him, Per Mertersacker has already taken the BFG title at the Emirates and he won't be relinquishing it any time soon.

All nicknames aside though, Khedira will add some much needed extra height to the Arsenal midfield that is currently made up of comparative shorties like Jack Wilshere, Thomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla.

Khedira would offer significant value at set pieces both offensively and defensively - an area that has been something of an achilles heel for Arsenal in the last decade - and that added value helps justify his considerable price tag.
