Arsenal Linked With Turkish Wonderkid

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf has revealed that Arsenal are said to be on the trail of Feyenoord loanee Nuri Şahin

Şahin, a 19-year-old Turk, is owned by Borussia Dortmund, with whom he became the youngest ever Bundesliga player when he made his first-team debut back in August 2005.

Since then, the German-born midfielder has gone from strength to strength, winning international recognition with the Crescent-Stars of Turkey.

At the moment he has a one-year rolling contract with BVB, with the German side having previously allegedly turned down a €3m bid from the Gunners for the young talent.

His stock has only risen since then, so much so that it may in fact cost €10m for Wenger to land a player who is somewhat inaccurately being dubbed by some of the more excitable media outlets as "the next Cristiano Ronaldo."
