On the day in which Arsene Wenger confirmed Sébastien Squillaci is a Gunner, a midfielder and a goalkeeper are the names linked with a possible move to Arsenal.

According Metro, Real Madrid’s Rafael van der Vaart is ready to leave the Spanish giants to join Schalke 04 in Germany although it seems, Arsenal are still monitoring the Dutchman. The 27-year old – who featured in this summer’s World Cup Finals – revealed in the past how he would love to play alongside Robin van Persie but it seems his future will be in Germany after he said he wants to join former Real Madrid star Raul.

The same website also reports how Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic went on strike as he wants news on a possible move to Chelsea or Arsenal. Apparently, the 23-year old refused to train with his team-mates and was dropped from the matchday squad for Tuesday night’s Carling Cup second round win over Shrewsbury at the Britannia Stadium.
