10 Things Arsenal Fans Need To Know About Sami Khedira

4. He Took Down A Goliath

The Bundesliga has always been a two horse race: Bayern Munich and whoever was on form that season. That much is perennially true. Occasionally another team will look to mount a serious, multi-year sustained challenge but they never seem to last. Dortmund have been on this list of challengers a few times but they haven't been able to consistently stay at the top for more than a few years.

A young Khedira however, managed to wrestle the title away from FC Bayern in 2007, with relative minnows, VFB Stuttgart. It was a shocking outcome to the season, it would be the equivalent of Tottenham or a Tony Pulis Stoke winning the Premier League.

Khedira has been a genuine giant killer in the Bundesliga, and it is that kind of winner that Arsenal need.
