Arsenal negotiating for winger (video)

Arsenal are locked in negotiations with Dinamo Zagreb attacking midfielder Luka Modric. Arsenal are pushing forward the negotiations to avoid any potential challenges from Bayern Munich for the 9m pound rated player.

Arsene Wenger has been discussing a move with the player’s agents for over a month now, not new for the notoriously slow to finalize a deal Wenger.

If a deal were to be made, it would be a pair of Dinamo Zagreb players after Eduardo Da Silva, who made his first start for Arsenal, joined earlier in the summer.

Apparently Modric's advisers have spent a few days in England recently to speak to a few different clubs about a move for the player.

At 21 years old, he certainly fits the Arsenal age mold well. Modric, who is most effective as a playmaker can play in central midfield or on the left and would cover the holes left by the departure of Freddie Ljungberg and Jose Reyes.

Here is a clip of Modric in action:
